&ldquo;A welcoming town of log fires, massage shops and restaurants, Sapa spreads across the hills above the rice terraces like an alpine retreat. In the mountains beyond is Fansipan, which, at 3,143 metres, is the highest peak in Indochina.&rdquo; &ndash; <a href="https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/travel-leisure/article/1955017/conquering-vietnams-mount-fansipan-indochinas" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Chris Taylor, Post Magazine</a>
