In 1903, the French discovered Sapa with its beautiful landscape and a desirable climate, marking this town’s turn to become an ideal vacation destination. The beautiful landscapes of Sa Pa attracted French folks and set the start for many of French upper class’ adventures. Chief of the Central Department of Urban Planning and Architecture CERUTTI indicated in Indochina Magazine (Vol. 164-165, published on October 28, 1943):
“Sapa, a beautiful vacation destination reminiscent of the Alps, is classified among vacation destinations with diverse development. This explains why the most beautiful plots overlooking the Muong Hoa valley and Fansipan peak with the highest terrain, landscapes, and sunny time are prioritized for construction of villas according to the zoning map.”
