Sa Pa Lake Hồ Sa Pa
Town lake under the hill
Town lake under the hill: walk the shore in the evening for the water, the lights, and the grill stalls. Cold nights gather the grills along this water and on the road down to the market. Come for the shore and the food, and stay in town so the walk is short. A clock and the stall prices are for the evening you find.

Hồ Sa Pa sits in town, with the buildings and the ridge behind the water. Walk the shore in daylight for the reflection, or at dusk when the lights come on along the rail.

On a cold night the grills gather here and on the road that leads down to the market. Plates at those stalls include grilled salmon, pork skewers, chicken wings, beef with enoki, eggs, and chestnuts. The visit is the water and the food.
