The history didn’t bless for the amazing town. From the World War II, a lot of wars between French, America and China continuously happened, destroying infrastructure in the town and the majority of hotels with England style was destroyed and couldn’t be repaired.

Through the exploration of tourists, Sapa town is being recovered. Many hotels and resorts are being built. Roads to the villages are being used to build modern hotels and luxury resorts. However, the height of the buildings were made increasingly being fading horizon.


With the development, life of highland tribes is also strongly changing. The prosperity of Sapa town connected with a large tourists flow to the place.


H’ Mong ethnic minority, one of the poorest tribes in the area, becomes the symbol of wise. You can easily meet them everywhere in the town and they are persuading you to buy something like handicraft or cheap jewellery. The majority has a low education or illiteracy; however, the children in here can speak fluently English, France or a little bit of other languages. They use the foreign language skills to make a good impression and to serve for their job as a guide in tour, hotels and restaurants. Other ethnic minorities like Red Dzao people are appearing in the town with strange sign of red scarves on their head.
