Step into the heart of Sapa at its most iconic symbol - the Sapa Stone Church. Built by the French in 1895, this enduring Gothic-Romanesque masterpiece stands as a testament to the town's colonial history. Admire its unique stone architecture against the backdrop of the majestic Hoang Lien Son mountains. The church is not only a active place of worship for the local community but also a vibrant cultural hub, famously serving as the main ground for the legendary "Love Market" of the ethnic minorities.
