Cloudy mornings and sudden sun, rice terraces felt otherworldly. Food was humble but amazing, bring layers.
Промок в внезапном ливне, взял не ту обувь. Зато виды того стоят, но берите непромокаемую одежду и терпение.

Bring small cash, ATMs sometimes empty. Change some dong at Lao Cai station if you arrive late to avoid big fees.
Felt safe walking around, locals friendly but many touts around tourist spots, bargain politely or just walk away.
