Sapa named among SEA’s top cool weather holiday destinations

The resort town of Sa Pa has topped the list of six cool weather holiday destinations in Southeast Asia through the year selected by Channel News Asia, a Singaporean English language Asian cable television news agency.

Located 350km northwest of Hanoi, Sapa town enjoys cool weather throughout the year – it rarely goes above 25 degrees Celsius and it never drops below 17 degrees Celsius even during the “hottest” periods between June and August.

“Your best bet for a chilly holiday would be from November to February, with average high temperatures of between 17 and 11 degrees,” Channel News Asia wrote.
