Si Ma Cai district
Si Ma Cai district is located 1500 meters higher than sea level with an immense forest of Sa Mu raising upright in the freezing cold of winter, full of colours and diverse culture of ethnic minority groups however Si Ma Cai is forgotten by the impact of tourism.
Si Ma Cai can be considered as one of the most beautiful destinations in north Vietnam with sheer cliffs, untouched mountain caves and abundant forests of precious orchids along the river banks.
The central market is located uphill, built in the French time. Sunday is market day and local people get up for the market from 2am when it's still dark, this is a very interesting activity of Si Ma Cai visitors cannot miss.
