Sa Pa town is quite small than other town in Vietnam . But Sa Pa is popular with local preservation , where local who come miles away from their village to sell the homemade craft or item. Those local still continue wearing their traditional outfit which is very rare to see in other place.
The local authority give some area where they can sell their item to passenger by. Those item from local is very expensive , but we can get cheaper because it was directly sold by the local .
We can see all the local seller is women , because the man will do the heavy work at their hometown like farming and hunting . All the grow up will go out working , while the eldest sibling in family will take care the younger while their parent is not at home. You even can see 2 years old kid taking care 3 months of their sibling.
We can divide Sa Pa town into two part . First one is where the tourist stay , near the Sun World beautiful building . You can see a lot of tourist in this area , and all the building in those area is very attractive . It is very beautiful and people even come to shot their prewedding here .
Beautiful architecture :
But , when you walk downtown about 30 minutes from the main town , you ll see the real and old sapa town with cheapest bargain.
If you think daytime is the busiest time in Sa Pa , then you got it wrong. Most of people will come to town , because they not work in the night , and the temperature is better in night than in the morning. The Sa Pa town become fiesta at the night and you ll see many type of people .
