Located in the northwestern of the country, Sapa is a part of Lao Cai province, a land of humility, quietness but containing many wonders of the natural beauty. The cool and fresh climate with an average temperature of 15-18°C all year round is such an invaluable resource here. The natural landscape of Sapa combining with the creativity of people along with the mountainous terrain and the green of the forest somehow creates an breathtaking and poetic area.

Escaping from the heat up to 40°C of the capital, VBG Investment Joint Stock Company chose Sapa as an ideal stopover this summer. This tour partly helped all employees of the company feel relaxed, comfortable, energize and connect them altogether to conquere the roof of Indochina - Fansipan Mountain!
