Overview

Arriving by the enchanting train at approximately 6:00 am, keep an eye out for the “Paradise’s Logo & Your Name” sign as you disembark. Our guide awaits to whisk you away Lao Cai to Bac Ha market, where the vibrant Bac Ha Sunday Markets await – an unparalleled spectacle in the region. Behold the mesmerizing blend of Flower H’mong, Phu La, Black Dao, Tay, and Nung ethnic minority traders converging the surrounding mountains. Immerse yourself in the kaleidoscope of colorful stalls adorned with local treasures, lively handicrafts, and fragrant teas. Be part of the morning bustle alongside local ethnic communities and revel in the dynamic activities at this bustling market. Delight in a lunch experience at a charming local eatery.

Following lunch, embark on a journey to explore Hoang A Tuong’s Palace, also known as the extravagant Vua Meo. Crafted by the French in 1921 with a striking ‘oriental baroque’ allure reminiscent of an exotic church fused with a French chateau, it once hosted grand gatherings for Flower H’mong chief Hoang A Tuong. Venture further to Ban Pho Village before bidding adieu to Bac Ha en route to Sapa. Upon arrival in Sapa, settle your hotel and unwind or venture out to explore a nearby local market – embracing the essence of this unique destination.
