Sapa to Mu Cang Chai Destination Reviews

The bus was not very comfortable and was delivering a lot of packages on the way. On the other way it was on time and it was a funny experience.

Bis left a hour later and turned out to be a very local bus. It took 5hrs from Sapa to Mu Cang Chai. No one speak English. But still it was an experience, driver drove carful and slow.
