Lao Cai Holidays & Tours

Lao Cai town, is both a border town to China – the westernmost intersection open to nonnatives by means of Hekou - and the door to Sapa. On the off chance that it looks sort of new to you, that is true. The town was to a great extent straightened by the Chinese amid their attack of 1979 and the worldwide border crossing here did not re-open till the early 1990s. What you see today, it's a clamoring spot fuelled by developing cross-border exchange. For explorers, Lao Cai is the hopping off spot when traveling among Hanoi and Sapa via train, and a stop-off when heading further north to Kunming in China. It just only a 30-minute away from Sapa, it's no place to wait, yet it offers everything China-bound voyagers will require for an overnight stay.

Most guests spend only few hours in Lao Cai town itself, sitting tight for the train journey back to Hanoi or a transport out to somewhere else in the territory, despite the fact that an overnight stay might be a much needed break if rolling in from China or leaving on a long transport journey. It's a sufficiently wonderful town yet there's little motivation to stay for a long time; the armada of electric white autos that circled the avenues are a fairly contacting endeavor to attract vacationers.
