Sapa Day Trek

Day Trek to the Lao Cai Village, Red Zao Village and Tan Van Village

The starting point for visiting the 3 different unique villages is from the lower entrance up to the hill to another entrance to exit in one way trek. Let's start to go thru the amazing scenes all along my trek...

来到沙霸，你就不容错过这些村庄，为什么？
就让照片来说故事吧!

风景篇



那里的风景优美犹如一幅画，你感受到吗? Along the trek, we passed by the river before heading up to the tribe hill. And, also passed by some houses...



They seem like still live in 20 years ago?
以前的人民吗? 才不，这就是这里村民的服饰，女的就花花的，男的都是这样朴素简单的......



回到古时代了吗?
路上的竹篱笆，用的都是手工编织出来的。



There are many bridges to cross the river for the locals.
山上姑娘天天重复地走过同样的一条桥回家，可是归家的心情是否也都天天一样的呢？



一向被誉为勤劳的牛, 是他们家不可或缺的一份子...
Wild Water Buffalo is the main income either work for paddie field or to cook for meat when they are getting old.



The way their hang their clothes for drying
到处可见的衣服挂在田园里，形成绿叶中的一点黄，可想而知的是，村民们都比较喜爱鲜艳的颜色作衣裳，莫非想要天天保持那单纯的开心和快乐的心情？



There are the home made joss sticks which only use when praying for the death people.
比较起来，他们的香是蛮粗大的...



到处可见的梯田...
虽然已经冬天了，可是还是掩饰不了他漂亮的一面。
The paddie fields are amazing but unluckily I was there during winter time.


学校篇
Let's start with the view of the schools in the villages...



天真无邪的小孩玩得不亦乐乎，似乎不知道大人们背后的辛酸...
The kid is playing around with other kids.



坏小孩的样子哦? 看起来凶巴巴的，可是心底却非常害羞，因为拍照时还忸忸怩怩的。
The student was day dreaming.



不敢正视镜头的害羞小男孩，赶忙转过头去，但是又很好奇的偷偷看我，哈哈，这就是单纯小孩天生的性格？
The kid is shy when saw me. He looks dirty just same like everyone there.



孩子们玩耍的情景好像卡片里边的画，不真实之中又让人回想起爸爸妈妈的那个年代哩...
Some kids were playing around just outside the school.



来到这里的学校才发现, 还以为只有在网上传来传去的邮件中才会看到的这样的情景, 心中不禁心酸起来, 不知如何面对这种无言的悲伤......
They are so cute but pity because they had only one book to share.



课外活动时间到, 天真烂漫的小朋友翩翩起舞呢...
One of the activities beside studying is dancing.



难得一见的课室...
其实不是每个小孩都有机会上学的, 听说只有那些经济许可的家长才有能力送孩子来学校的
One of the classroom.



勤劳上课的学生们好专心上课，只有一个回头看看我哦...
你有看见了吗？那些学生都没有穿上校服的, 更没有年龄限制大大小小一起上课的......

Ring ring ring~~ Its time to go home... 放学了...
小手牵小手, 我们一起走，

哇，好温馨的场面哦...

工作篇
Let's go for the working ladies...



专心努力的老人不停的缝阿缝的, 身旁的我们也忍不住为你打气，加油吧，老阿妈!

She still own a spectacle?



没有生意的姑娘们还会苦中作乐一番, 还不错嘛...

They are having fun with each other during hand-making their products.



生活困苦的她们，等了又等，不知何时才会吃得饱穿得暖，生活不用担忧呢
Another lady is working while waiting for customers.



一群妇女一边聊天一边勤奋的在工作，几乎每个都背着婴儿的呢!
They are making their handmade stuff in a group to chit chat around.



即使生活在黑漆漆世界的乡村姑娘还是要过着日出而作，日落而息的日子，我们是不是该惜福呢?



山上的姑娘, 除了会编制各式各样的商品, 还会自己学英语, 方便跟旅人交谈, 为的就是"钱"囖...
They are friendly if you are willing to buy their product or pay them the money...


小孩篇
The kids photo album...



小孩眼里的希望, 你看见了吗?
A baby is looking for someone to shoot her a photo :P



调皮的小女孩看见到处拍照的我赶紧扮个鬼脸，好可爱哦...

这小朋友不知道是把田园当作游乐场所还是因为想帮忙父母所以下田工作？

Ooppss... He got to work? oh, no. Actually he is just playing around with some other kids inside the pond. Pond? I think should inside the paddie field...haha...

原来是一伙的......
天真无邪的他们令我想起曾有过的童年时光，好羡慕这些无忧无虑的日子...



看起来像老大跟小的在交代工作吗? 哈哈... 看什么的, 还不快点手脚? 在说你呀!
Another gang of kids...



在另一个山头，只看见一个孤独的小孩，注视着远方，也许只是发呆，还是在担心自己的未来吗？
This boy is alone there...



三个小侠各忙各的好像在比赛什么的，也许这是他们生活的一套方式？
The boys are doing something? cutting the grass? I not sure about that...



很爽快地和我交谈一番后的这个小孩，大大方方地和我来张合照，不知道远方的他知不知道他的照片出现在我的部落格呢...


刚巧很幸运的能够遇上将要结婚的村民，据说因为成家立业的村民应该要有比较大的房子，
所以这里看到的是大家分工合作, 齐心协力地建造房屋的场面啰...
They are trying to build a house themself together. Actually they are from Red Zao Village which I found that the richest villagers because they are not selling anything or begging for money at all. And, they always wear in red which is different with black hmong or flower hmong.

This is the train station at Lao Cai. From Hanoi, we have to take the night train and overnight in the train to get there. And then only take another minibus from the train station to Sapa. Please try to bargain the price for the minibus because they will try to charge you a lot as much as they can!!!
如果很想体会一下当地人的生活，大可来这个人来人往的火车站看看，你就会发现各式各样的人都有（肮脏的，恶心的，奇怪的，礼貌的，凶巴巴的等等.....）。

This is the softsleeping seat which is the most expensive. But, please don't buy any ticket thru agency or hotel because they will charge you a lot just like me :(
You may buy it directly from the counter at the train station. But, it may be sold out during the peak season if you buy directly from the train station

看看四周，还好吧？虽然花了比较贵的车票，但是觉得至少还很满意这个车位。但是，我高兴得太早了，因为回去的那趟竟然被分配到低级的车位！！


小小的遗憾:
其实, 在出发前的我特意去书局找来了好几十支原子笔, 有蓝的, 也有黑的, 可是却犹豫不决, 究竟是笔比较好, 还是糖果比较好? 因为听说, 那里的小朋友都没有纸张, 更没有多余的簿子, 有了笔又有何用呢? 更何况寒冷的天气下原子笔是没用的... 至少, 糖果能让他们有一时的开心快活! 听着听着, 就只带了不同的糖果...

看着小朋友们带着短暂的笑容, 我的心却默默地伤心流泪...
因为几乎连找基本的生活费用都成问题的大人们, 岂能为他们的下一代提供良好的教育环境呢?
