Located at an altitude of over 1.600m above sea level, surrounded by majestic mountains, the weather in Sapa is cool and comfortable all year round with the temperature only about 20 Celcius degrees. Especially at Fansipan Peak, with an altitude of 3,143m above sea level, the temperature is always below 20 in the summer. When tourists arrive here on cloudy days, they will feel like stepping into a fairyland with a fanciful and wondrous space.

Summer is the time when Sapa is in its most gorgeous look. The terraced fields in the water-pouring season in Ta Van, Ta Phin villages, and Muong Hoa Valley are a combination of the fresh green color of the fields and the blue water reflecting the sky running through them. Within one day in Sapa, you can experience different weather from all four seasons: a cool spring morning, a summer afternoon with a little sunlight, a cloudy and foggy autumn evening with a cool breeze, and finally, a cold winter night.
