In this Vietnam travel vlog, join me as I journey to Sapa—a city in the clouds famous for its breathtaking mountain scenery and rich cultural diversity. We start off exploring Sapa’s town center, wandering through misty streets and lively local markets set against a backdrop of terraced hills. From the vibrant town square to hidden alleyways, you’ll get a feel for this mountain community’s charm and friendly vibe.

Next, I head to the highly aesthetic Phansi Cafe – a glamping-style hilltop café known for its 360° panoramic views. Perched on a mountainside overlooking golden rice terraces, Phansi is the perfect spot to sip locally brewed coffee and watch the sunset ignite the sky. This Instagram-worthy cafe gives a spectacular glimpse of Sapa’s natural beauty and offers a serene break from the town’s bustle.

Beyond the tourist spots, I venture off the beaten path to connect with Sapa’s Hmong community. You’ll see me chatting with Black Hmong villagers—easily recognized by their traditional indigo-dyed clothing adorned with vibrant embroidery—and learning about Hmong culture and daily life firsthand. For the ultimate cultural immersion, I trek into a remote mountain village and stay overnight in a Hmong homestay. Spending a night off-grid in a simple hillside home was an eye-opening experience: we cooked over an open fire, swapped stories, and fell asleep to the sounds of nature. Whether you’re a tourist, a cultural explorer, or just a travel enthusiast, this Sapa travel vlog offers an authentic glimpse into Vietnam’s highland life and unforgettable memories.

See you tomorrow!
