Vietnam is a definitely a bucket list trip for me and all these wonderful photos don’t making waiting for the opportunity to visit any easier. Look in every few days to see if anything new has been put up.

This is good. I love the activities in the foreground and the majestic background that slowly fades away to the distance. Is this near Ha Long Bay?

Keep posting Tim, for such a long toime haven't got a chance to return to Sapa. I've learnt that it has changed a lot and Sapa now is like a giant construction site.

Thanks Vincent,
It's in Vân Đồn town, 70km from Hạ Long (about 1.5 hours by car).
Bái Tử Long bay is also very beautiful (and less touristic than Hạ Long)

Hi Trung,

Yes, when I was there late December, 2016, the whole town was very dusty and got very muddy after rain because of all the construction work. A modern massive shopping mall and 5-star hotel were being built in the middle of the town. The local businesses weren't very happy. A once tranquil French hill station may be only memories for many.

Sapa became a tourist Disneyland years ago.

Well, getting kids to school in remoted area are really great efforts from the government, the teachers, the family and the kids themselves. It's great that you you can penetrate in such remoted area to document those photos. Thanks for sharing.
