Sapa is a small town that has been a gathering spot for many local hill tribes for nearly 200 years. Hmong and Dzao people, among others, still come here to conduct trade, socialize. Sapa, with its mercifully cool climate, became a holiday escape for French colonists, complete with rail connection, upscale hotels, and a tourist bureau as early as 1917. The outpost was retaken by the Vietnamese in 1950, attacked and destroyed later by the French, and left in ruin, only brief occupied by Chinese troops in 1979. The town reopened for tourism in the 1990s.
