I visted Sapa in June and took an 11 km hike along Muong Hoa Valley. The rice paddy fields were still green then and it took my breath away in every mean. The hike was exhausting but the views were breath taking. Sa Pa’s true beauty is outside of downtown Sa Pa.
Sapa is most beautiful during the ripe rice season from late September to the end of October every year. The terraced fields ripen golden in the autumn sunlight. Amazingly beautiful.
The scenery looked great those steep hills and landscape looked beautiful, the guide seemed nice her English was good for rural Vietnam it was impressive ✌️❤️🇬🇧
This was great Alina. I have said it before but towns and cities are all so similar and this gave us a great flavour of the countryside. More like this please.
Stunning Views ! Having a guide as sweet as she was makes the hike so much more enjoyable. We have not been. When we go back to Vietnam, it's on our bucket list. Thank You Alina for sharing what you should plan for and to expect when hiking . Sending you Hugs🫂 and Kisses 💋 from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Hi Alina! 😁🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a fantastic day! This truly is a marvelous super magnificent video! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇻🇳⛰🥇💯💫✨🌟 Wow! Sapa looks so absolutely amazing! Also the view of the landscape of mountains and green fields look really beautiful! Even the food at the homestay looks very delicious! I would definitely like to visit Sapa and Northern Vietnam one day. It really is a beautiful place! Thank you so very much Alina to share with us this amazing fantastic video. You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer ever! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🥇💯🏆💫🌟 I wish you Alina a wonderful excellent magnificent blessed day. 😊🙏❤️👋👍✨🌟
Hi Alina. It was great. Sapa and Hagiang are on my must-see list for my next trip to Vietnam, hopefully next year. I like hiking but I don't think I can hike as long as you did. You seemed exhausted at the end of the trek. Take care. Can't wait to watch your Hagiang motobike tour.
Cảm ơn bạn đã có chuyến đi du lịch trái nghiệm và khám phá vung phía bắc vung đất sapa với những khung cảnh thiền nhiên hung vĩ với quan cảnh tuyệt đẹp của rưng núi và những con ngươi thân thiện quý khách của ngươi dân vung sapa việt nam tôi luôn chào đón các bạn❤❤❤❤
Would definitely love to explore Sa Pa and Northern Vietnam after watching this well-presented and insightful video! The vivid landscape of lush green mountains and paddy fields is very calming to watch. Perfect way to start my day 👌🏼💯
I like your videos👍👍❤️. Most of them are very realistic. I thank you for visiting Vietnam🙏. Hope you will come back and have better experiences when our tourism industry will invest more in Sapa as well as Ha Giang.💪💪
First off, thanks for showing your adventures in Sapa, Vietnam. I never heard of Sapa until I was following a follow hmong who lives in Laos and biked to Sapa. I'm Hmong and born in the States. To add context to what Cha was saying, each year in December, the hmongs (no matter where you are from) gather in December to celebrate the new year. The new year celebrations allows single people to mingle through what's called "ball toss". How that occurs is a single guy ask a single girl to toss balls back and forth while conversing and ultimately courtship if both like each other. Although my parents where born in Laos and came to the States as refugees back in the 70's aftter the Vietnam War, my view as a hmong kid growing up was limited and from what was taught from my grandparents and relatives were hmong people were from China and immigrate to the high lands of Laos and Vietnam. With the widespread of access to internet and social media today, my limited views are stretched as I see my people thriving in remotes part of the world. Sapa is 100% a place i would want to visit in the future to conserve in the native tongue, share stories about the ways of life and learn about our different dialect as hmong green, white and black. I do believe this will strengthen my identity as a hmong person and bring into light a unique introspective view of how far we as hmong living in America or any 1st world country has come.
What an amazing and arduous trek of this magical land and resilient, hard-working villagers; loved all the tips especially the waterproof Echo shoes and the way you captured the topography and happy music. Loved the guide and interview. Thx for all you do! Happy and safe trails ahead and holidays!
I just visited Sapa a few weeks ago and went hiking / visited a bunch of the villages! It's so cool that you got to do a homestay, I would have loved to if I'd known it was possible!
Hello Alina! This video was really nice, so calm and joyful and also very interesting as the scenerery was just amazing, the people friendly. I can imagine how tiring this hike could be, but it pays off at the end!! Thank you very much. Great video, as always❤❤❤
I think you are so lucky to have a chance to visit that place. Every day I visit that place through RUclips. Oh, I love the nature so much. Thank you for sharing with us all those beautiful pictures.😊
Hi Alina. I wonder if you remember the name of that coffee shop that has the great panoramic view of the valley and rice terraces at the 5:05 time mark. I can’t hike for very long but can always drive to a cafe for that view.
Great video, Alina! 😊 Watching & living vicariously from Calgary 🇨🇦 through your excellent travel adventures!! Your Sapa guide - that was an awesome conversation with her - sooo interesting!
That was an amazing video! What a great experience for you and the others. It just gave me an amazingly positive feeling - thanks for sharing these moments in your life. Happy continued traveling. The guide is a sweet human being - like her attitude about life!
alina Mcleod nice recorrido en Sapa nice gente, dia soleado, areas Verdes , comida a mi me gusta el jugo de mango y te miras bonita! drinking tu mango juice
Hi Alina great video we did hiking around Sapa some years ago not the trek you did but was pretty hard .I can appreciate the hard work you put in not only to do the treck but to film it. Just think that it is something you will always remember for the rest of your life. Well done Cheers
I spend a lot of time in Vietnam my girlfriend’s families from Hanoi Last year November I was in Sapa for about a week we stayed at the Topas Ecolodge very nice place in the middle of the rice patties I recommended
Thank you for sharing. Love your video. FYI, there are Hmongs in the USA, France, Australia, French Guiana, and South Korea as well. There are Hmong Senators, Congressman, Mayors and other political staffs in the USA. Sunisa Lee is Hmong from St. Paul, Minnesota, is a Gold, Silver medal Olympic champion.

I have never been to South East Asia, And I'm curious to know how do people deal with the drug war going on since that area WAS the craddle of civilization at some point in time. I've heard about Hmong people but never really understood what these people were. As an educated man, I believe there are many tribes in the world who are closed off to society. Must be nice to REALLY experience life around the world at first pov. Amazing Vlog Alina!!!!!! Hopefully your father is enjoying his time, they say curiosity kills the cat but God willing I hope everyone is safe and sound. All the best McLeod's! #TheInvisibleWar #StaySober #HappyHolidays#MerryXmas#HappyNewYear
That was definitely a very scenic area. The little I know about the Hmong people was from books I've read about their involvement with the French and Americans during the warring period before Vietnam reunified. It appears that the Hmong are much more involved with general Vietnamese and Laotian society then they were forty years ago. So as always, I learn stuff about the peoples and the countries I've never been to, through your videos.
Bamboo socks would have helped resist blisters on a trail like this, wet cotton will chaff, you can find copper infused or bamboo socks online,great for hiking in Vietnam ✌️❤️🇬🇧
You have a really a good time in Sapa and the nature in Sapa is beautiful and the people is friendly but something I don't like the grils married very early You had a good time in Sapa Alina thank you for your chennel.
ABC Trek, Nepal. Everest base camp, Nepal Dolpo ,Nepal Manaslu circuit trek,Nepal Leh, India Spriti Valley, India North east. India Very beautiful place to visit. These place are not too much tourist area, Enjoy & stay safe 👍♥️🙏
Great video Alina. You should cross the border and visit China if you got the chance. They are modern and more welcoming than you might believe. You'll be amazed and its not what you always hear about in the Western media 😃
Welcome to my country. Wish you happy and peaceful. Thanks for sharing all things you have experienment. Love and hug

Totally agree. Would love to visit again when the hills are more green!
Would late April be ok for green hills at sapa?
Sapa is most beautiful during the ripe rice season from late September to the end of October every year. The terraced fields ripen golden in the autumn sunlight. Amazingly beautiful.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Rural Vietnam looks so nice 😍 Love it
I would love to visit this place. I can't get enough of your videos! I watch and rewatch 2-3 hours of your videos everyday.

My pleasure! I did hear February is the coldest month so may be better to pay extra for a hotel with heating.
Wonderful footage alina. Loved your chit chat with the guide 😊. I’m heading there at end of March - this has whetted my appetite nicely. Thank you!
Thank you! Hope you have a great trip!
Alina you've shot eye-pleasing visuals and a very informative video.

There is Hmong in South Vietnam, which is often associated with the US military during the war. The Hmong here in Sapa is very different.
Yes some of their past involvement with US is quite interesting.
@@AlinaMcleod Sadly before the Internet the tribal Hmong faced discriminations from those from metropolitan cities. Glad isnt the case anymore.
@@AlinaMcleod the Hmong tribal believed to act observation posts over HCM trails during US involvement.
It is like the Swiss Alps of viet nam. With some foreign investment , it could become a vacation destination.
Awesome video. Hope you get better ❤
Thank you, thankfully better now
We just finished the one day hike today, and I'm shattered! I don't think I could manage the 2 or 3 day ones. You definitely need good boots😅
Haha glad it wasn’t just me 😅

Thankfully no blisters for me but for the people in rubber boots, definitely
Hi happy 2024 all the best 😊🙏👍
Interesting journey!
Have you ever traveled to Ha Giang city.This is one of famous places in Viet Nam.I hope that you will have a great trip in Viet Nam.We love you guys!
That’s where the next video will be from!
Wonder if you had to do one, Sapa adventure here or Ha Giang loop, which one you would choose?
Ha Giang for sure 🙂
Welcome to vietnam 😃😃🎉🎉🎉
Great vdoAlina, but you should pronounce Hmong with the H being silent.
You have a really a good time in Sapa and the nature in Sapa is beautiful and the people is friendly but something I don't like the grils married very early
You had a good time in Sapa Alina thank you for your chennel.
Well, that temperature is WAAAAY HIGHER than it is in Minnesota anyway. At least in the RESPONSIBLE CELSIUS diminutives!! 😁
But you guys got central heating!
@@AlinaMcleod The way I want temperature to be at!! 🤔 Even though those around me refuses to have it be that way around me!! ☺

Just fyi but, h in Hmong is silent. The locals just say ‘người Mong‘, Mong tribe
Hello Alina
Great My Friends ❤😂
Hmong culture
they're close to vietnam than china hán
Hello Alina ❤
hi!how are you?
Great video Alina. You should cross the border and visit China if you got the chance. They are modern and more welcoming than you might believe. You'll be amazed and its not what you always hear about in the Western media 😃
I will definitely visit sometime!
chao ban video ve sa pa rat thu vi
The H in Hmong is silent... just say "mong"
Corrections on the name HMONG, The “H” is silent, the proper pronunciation is MONG, not HA-MONG
