With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy everything that Bac Ha, 25 miles away, has to offer. Can Cau Market, Bac Ha Temple and Thai Giang Pho Waterfall alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Sa Pa is another wonderful option. It’s 60 miles away and home to tons of fascinating things to see and do. Sapa Lake, Sapa Market and Sapa Cathedral are just the start.
