This is among the events to celebrate 120 years of Sa Pa tourism and the 65th anniversary of Uncle Ho’s visit to Lao Cai Province.
The Culture-Tourism Week will feature many cultural, artistic, and sports activities, such as a programme to explore Sa Pa, an international mountain marathon, a full moon festival, a sports dance festival, and others. Sapa Town will also host an international conference themed “Sa Pa – Journey from a resort station to a national tourist area”.
