Sa Pa

In the hamlet of Bản Dền, water flows from the ground already warm, and villagers paid for the pipes and pools themselves. Sa Pa's stories walk down to the terraced fields of Lao Chải and watch a Red Dao silversmith in Nậm Cang engrave suns and ears of rice on silver. They climb into the clouds on Ô Quy Hồ Pass and stand beneath Thác Bạc, the Silver Waterfall, which drops more than 200 meters. In the middle of town, about 500 climbing roses line a lakeside path.
