INTRODUCTION
|
 Once
a quiet French hill resort near the Chinese border, the town
of Sapa now draws visitors from around the world. Travelers
admire dramatic mountain scenery, trek to remote Hmong and Zao
villages to see women create batik and embroidered goods and
bargain for made-for-tourist handicrafts in a lively
marketplace. The trip combines with World heritage of Ha Long
Bay. Located in the Gulf of Tonkin, the bay covers an area of
1500 square km. With more than a thousand limestone peaks
soaring from its crystal like emerald water, this area is one
of the natural wonders of Vietnam and now a World Heritage
listed site. Visitors have constantly marvelled at Ha Long
Bays’ natural beauty. The tiny islands are dotted with
innumerable beaches and grottoes created by the wind and the
waves that make an excellent backdrop for swimming or just
lazing about on the boat deck
