Is SAPA Worth It in Winter? Our Honest First Impressions

Is Sapa worth it in winter? We share our honest first impressions of Vietnam's coldest mountain town during Christmas. After an epic 5-hour journey from Hanoi, we discovered a place that feels more like a European ski village than Southeast Asia — complete with freezing temperatures, cozy fireplaces, and Hmong apple wine. From terrace rice fields and tribal handicrafts to smoked wild boar by the fire, here's what surprised us about Sapa in December. Places Featured: Sapa Town Center & Sun Plaza Legend Home (our accommodation) Fancy Pan Terrace Cafe Casa Italia Pizza Restaurant Relax Bar (Rasta-themed) Sapa Church Hmong Tribe Market Stalls What We Cover: Is Sapa worth the long drive from Hanoi? What winter temperatures to expect (12°C!)
