Vietnam tourism gradually increases so there will be more and more visitors coming to Vietnam. Especially Sapa, which is mountainous, scenic and full of hill tribe people in costume. This beautiful place is about 500km from Hanoi and many of visitors wish to visit this place. However, there are only a few trains which are running now from Hanoi to Sapa. 

Although there are buses from Hanoi to Sapa but many of those still choose train ride because it is safer and train can save one night hotel stay for passengers. Instead staying at a hotel with charge and spend fee for other transportation, passengers choose staying on overnight train to save these.

The point is to choose a good train for your journey. The Sapaly Express Train is one of the best trains from Hanoi to Sapa.

One of the reviews for Sapaly Express Train

“We went on the Sapaly train and had no problems, in fact we rather enjoyed the train.. We booked a four berth f or the two of us and used the bedding off the top bunk for a softer mattress. The town of Sapa itself is okay and it is is nice to see all the colourful costumes worn by the hill people but it is the countryside that I think is the drawcard”.

Like other tourist trains from Hanoi to Sapa, the Sapaly Express Train’s carriages are tacked onto the Government trains but are staffed by the Sapaly staff.

After you booked and paid for the tickets. Sapaly Express Train will issue a voucher which is exchanged for the actual train tickets at the station just before your departure.s
