Vietnam has always been intriguing and mystical to me as it offers a diversity of landscapes ranging from pristine sea beaches and wonderful hills, to lush green rice fields.

I was compelled by my curiosity to explore this wonderful South-East Asian gem for a short family vacation during the recent holidays. Since it offers an array of diverse escapades it was difficult to choose where in the country we should go. In the end, we decided on Sapa (or Sa Pa), said to be the “city in the fog”.
