Duration: 5.5 hours.
Using private car is a perfect choice thanks to recent opening of the Noi Bai – Lao Cai highway passing through five provinces and cities of Hanoi, Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai and Lao Cai; and put into operation in late September 2014.With this highway, using private car rental to Sapa is 5 hours shorter and more enjoyable than traveling by train.The road is in a really good condition and the view of mountains is breathtaking along the journey.You just relax,enjoy the scenery or have some breaks for photographs, refeshement or toilet stops if you like.
