SAPA (VIETNAM) IN GOLDEN SEASON

In Autumn, the legendary land of Sapa (Vietnam) is changing into a shiny golden “coat” of terraced fields. This place has long been a fantasy for many visitors from all over the world to stop and admire the golden season.

SAPA – Vietnam’s Northwestern mountain paradise

Situated in the Northwest of Vietnam, around 300km from Hanoi, Sapa is one of the most beloved destinations for travelers and trekkers. The name “Sapa” literally means “sand” (Sa) and “village” (Pa). Previously, there was just a “sand village” for local people to exchange goods and services.

The moderate weather, high platform, and diverse waterfall system keep this land incredibly cool year-round and create a blissful natural environment for many kinds of species, green forests, and flowers.

Travel to Sapa: Golden beauty of harvest time

The mountain paradise becomes a real muse during autumn days, from mid-August to October when the rice fields embrace mesmerizing golden colors. Because it only happens once a year, farmers greet it with much enthusiasm and pride.

A bountiful harvest of ripe rice dotted by the deep green color of the great Hoang Lien Son mountains adds tremendous volume to the nature canvas, across the highland region.

From afar, the terraced rice fields seem like postcard features, with perfectly memorable beauty drawing travelers to stand in admiration for a while. The misty veil in the morning makes the scene more mysterious and alluring.
