My friend told me that on the occasion of the April 30 - May 1 celebration last year, he and his family took a trip to Sa Pa. It seemed like a comfortable and happy place but unexpectedly when it arrived, the tourist area was jammed with people crowded with people. Travel time in Sa Pa town is almost equal to from Hanoi to Lao Cai. The trip became a nightmare and the whole family decided to return to Hanoi that day, ending the tiring and quick trip. He also said that on the way and back, his family also witnessed many serious traffic accidents.
