3/ When is the tourist season in Lao Chai Village?
The period from September to April of the next year is the so-called tourist season because it is the most beautiful time of the year in Lao Chai Village. Specifically, a wide range of golden terraced rice field stretching over high hills and mountains is the highlight of Sapa tours in Lao Chai at that time. This natural masterpiece interests a lot of tourists, especially photographs to pay a visit and take lots of wonderful photos.
4/ What’s about the cuisine of Lao Chai Village?
In general, Sapa cuisine is very rich with different flavors. Coming to Lao Chai Village, you will have a chance to fully enjoy the distinctive cuisine of H’mong, Giay or Dao ethnic group.

Especially, stolen armpit pig is an extremely well-known specialty in Lao Chai Village that you should try eating once in your Sapa tours. During meals, people often sip corn wine or sticky rice wine so as to make available dishes much more flavorful and delicious.
5/ What did our tourists review Sapa tours?
“We have to start off giving our best recommendation to TrekkingSapa as a travel agency. The interest they show in the local people is no other than an exceptional mindset that shows reflection and understanding.
The tour is a travel in time with absolutely stunning scenery. We were guided by Phính who showed us her village, Lao Chai. On our way to the village, we experienced a new world of plants and animals where every question we had were answered with interest and a vast knowledge of appliance and use! We also dined with a host family on the halfway to Lao Chai, where we learned to cook and prepare food in traditional Vietnamese style. This food is something beyond what you can taste in any restaurant (at least in our case), this has to be experienced!!
Lastly we want to thank Phinh specifically for taking such good care of us. This adventure will be in our thoughts forever!
Thank you Phinh”
