Rice terraces carved into mountainsides and villages where Hmong and Dao families welcome walkers.

High in the Hoang Lien Son range, Sapa's valleys are stepped with rice terraces that turn gold before the harvest. We walk with local guides from the villages, at a pace that leaves time for tea in a family home.
