Traveling the World #74 (Asia Series) Sapa @ Vietnam 🇻🇳

Hi Steemians,

Today I’ll be taking you to a place in Vietnam not many people will visit. Sapa, north western of Vietnam on the boarder of China is popular for trekking and famous for their rice fields. The only way to get to Sapa is an overnight train from Hanoi. There are many train companies that take tourists to Sapa with various prices so we opt for a more bigger company and a nice sleeper berth.

今天我想帶你們去一個在越南比較少人去的地方。沙坝市鎮在越南北部靠近中國也是一個很多山路的地方。他們的梯田也是非常有名的。到沙坝市鎮要從河內坐長途火車才可以到這個地方。到沙坝市鎮可以用不同的火車公司而我們是用比較有名的公司而且是有睡覺的房間。

The train we ended up taking was the King Express. It was very clean and we shared the berth with another Vietnamese couple who lived overseas and came back to Vietnam for travel.

我們訂的火車是叫 King Express. 我們的等級車廂非常乾淨而我們當晚就是同一對越南夫婦同房間。他們是從外國回越南旅遊的。

We arrived at Lao Cai station very early in the morning so we waited with the rest of the tourists for hotel transfer. There were many people trying to approach us to take us to our hotel so be sure to see the right person/car before you go into the car. The roads were very rocky and windy and the car which took us to our accommodation was very old school.

過了八個多小時的時間，我們到 Lao Cai 火車站跟其他遊客等酒店工作人員來接到酒店。等車期間，有很多當地人問我們需不需要車所以上車之前，一點要確定這個人/車是對的才跟他們走。來接我們的車非常舊而且路非常不好走。

We arrived at our accommodation which was one of the few places which had good reviews online. The boss spoke perfect English and was also the head chef of the hotel restaurant.
