Sa Pa ([ʃaː paː], also written as Sapa) is a district-level town of Lào Cai province in the Northwest region of Vietnam. The town has an area of 685 km2 (264 sq mi) and a population of 70,663 as of 2022. The town capital is located in Sa Pa ward. It is an important market and touristic town. Ethnic minorities (such as the Hmong, Dao, Giáy, and Tày) make up the vast majority of Sa Pa's population.
The name "Sa Pa" originates from the Mandarin Chinese language (Chinese: 沙壩; pinyin: Sa Ba), meaning "sandy beach". The location name first appeared as "Chapa" on the national map when the French arrived in Tonkin in the late 1880s. Sa Pa is pronounced with the "Ch" sound of French ("Sh" in English) (read more)
