If you’re feeling energetic you could try and reach the summit of Fansipan, the tallest mountain in the whole of Vietnam. There are also several different ethnic tribes that live in the area, and you can visit traditional villages and experience a completely different way of life. A trip to Lao Cai and the surrounding areas really is a journey of discovery.
