Chin Chou Ping is a place with heaps of cool stories to tell. If you reckon your life's been a bit boring lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!
The country's capital, Hanoi, is located 240 kilometres to the southeast of Chin Chou Ping.
Longing for some time in the natural world? Hop in the car and make your way out to Thai Giang Pho Waterfall, 11 kilometres away from Chin Chou Ping. Alternatively, feel the warm glow of the sun on your skin at Gushan Cave Ancient Site, 30 kilometres away.
Sports fans don't need to worry about being left out in the cold during their stay. Tang Loong stadium is 35 kilometres away in Sapa and the perfect place to get your sporting fix. Remember to check the event calendar to see what's on.
If you have ample time, why not head to some close-by places? Lao Cai and Hekou are 6 kilometres and 30 kilometres away, respectively.
'There is no love sincerer than the love of food,' according to George Bernard Shaw, but add travel to the mix and it's a match made in heaven. You're invited to indulge in your two loves by eating and drinking your way around Lao Cai.
Are you wondering about a few of the surprises that'll land on your dinner plate? There's a good chance they'll include mint, pepper or perhaps even both.
Of course, you can't go to Chin Chou Ping without sinking your teeth into gá»i cuốn (spring rolls) or bánh cuốn (rice noodle roll). Popular with locals and considered regional specialties, they are an essential experience for any self-respecting food fan.
You may be eating your way into elastic-waisted slacks, but bánh cam (sweet rice sesame balls) is certainly worth it. This much-loved dessert will put your taste buds into overdrive at the mere sight of it.
Knowing how to pronounce a few expressions in the local language will make your time in the Lao Cai region that little bit easier. First of all, try to pronounce 'Chúc sức khoẻ!'. This translates as 'cheers/good health!'. Perhaps you'll find 'Tôi tên là ...' easier to get your head around? This means 'my name is..'.
Celebrated throughout many parts of the country, Independence Day takes place on the 2nd of September. If you find yourself here on this important day, it'll be difficult not to get swept up in the exciting atmosphere!
With just a handful of your travel allowance remaining in your pocket and some incredible memories that will never fade, say a final "Xem bạn sau" to Chin Chou Ping.
When the time arrives to pack up your bag and hit the tarmac, the closest terminal, Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), is 220 kilometres to the southeast.
