Dress Warmly
As mentioned, Sapa's nighttime temperatures can drop quite low, so make sure to dress warmly with layers including jackets, wool hats, gloves, scarves, umbrellas/raincoats (in case of rain), before embarking on your journey to explore Sapa.
Bring Along a Map
In Sapa at night, not every place is as well-lit as urban areas on the plains.

This is a very important task to remember!
