EXPERT’S PICK:

Hike through the rolling rice terraces, waterfalls, mountains and lush green hills of Sapa and you’ll quickly realise why this has become an iconic image of Vietnam

Meet a community of hill-tribe people who have been in Vietnam for over three centuries. Having emigrated from China, the H’mong settled in Cat Cat Village and invite you to learn about their rich culture
