We reached Lao Cai on the Chinese border early in the morning. Our new guide How and his driver took us up a windy, hilly road into the mountains to Sapa. The journey took about an hour, but afforded us amazing views down into the valley. As we climbed higher terraced rice fields on steep mountain hillsides began to dominate the landscape. The vegetation was lush.
Chinese border, into the clouds, fantastic stuff. The elevated rice fields looked like they’d been drawn in from the air.
