Hotels in Northern Region, Malta
Northern Vietnam is a mountainous region bordering China, famous for its dramatic terraced rice fields and vibrant hill-tribe cultures. The climate is cool year-round, with dry, crisp winters (40-70°F / 4-21°C) perfect for trekking through Sapa's Muong Hoa Valley, and rainy summers (May-September) ideal for exploring the limestone karsts of Ha Giang by motorbike. For a cheap homestay, head to Ta Van village in winter, or join a market tour before the summer rains hit.
