Although tourism is developing fast in the region, many locals still live a very basic life. Most of them spend all day long working on the fields.It’s so easy to find a small market in any villages,they sell what their families do not need in markets, Cocly market ,too. And with the money they make, they buy something else. It is what experts call a subsistence economy. No luxuries here.
Arrive at Lao Cai Train station at about 6.30. Take a transfer to Sapa. Having breakfast and relax before explore Sapa Town. In the afternoon, take a 2km short trekking to Cat Cat Village, the home of H'mong Ethic. Meeting & talking with locals to learn more about their daily life.
Leave Sapa for Lao Cai then Coc Ly tribal market, which offer the chances to see H'mong and Dzao minority people in their most colorful costumes. Take a boat trip down stream on Chay river with picnic lunch. Enjoy scenic view from river and trek to Dzao, Tay minority villages. On the way visit Vietnam - China International Border Gade. Return back to Lao Cai station for the night train to Hanoi.
