Sapa - Part 4

You can find throughout Sapa town series of souvenir shops where they show all local people's products: handicrafts, silvers, wooden things. All products are made by the people in this region.
It is also interesting to go down to the villages and buy souvenirs from the local minority people.
It is important that you should buy things from the adults (especially from women) in their houses in stead of buying outside and from children. By this way, you will encourage the people to sell things in their villages and motivate the children come back to schools.

 Vietnamese Tapestry

Try these exotic souvenirs instead...

How about some handicrafts?

Consider buying these unique 'luggage bags' if yours doesn't have enough rooms for the souvenirs

Sapa - Part 3

Armed with my best companion, my Panasonic FX36, I captured almost every inch of Sapa. It was not an easy task in selecting the best shots to be posted. Finally, I chose the easy way out by publishing all the pictures featuring the breathtaking view of Sapa.
