Make a couple of stops for comfort breaks before arriving in Sapa around lunchtime.

Upon arrival in Sapa, admire the colourful traditional costumes of the Hmong, Dzao, and Tay peoples. Your guide will quickly provide you with some information before you check in to your hotel and savour a set menu lunch of Vietnamese cuisine.
