Rainy season first: the rain on the slopes that can cut the road, the live fog read, and the dry-season water story — then which hill market is on today, and the farming year on the terraces.

Which Market Is On Today?
The Farming Year in Sa Pa
The growing year on Sa Pa's terraces and hillsides — when the rice is transplanted and cut, when black cardamom comes out of the forest, and the cold-season vegetables and flowers in between.
Sa Pa Through the Year
What each month is really like — the foggy mountain climate, the rice-terrace seasons, the monsoon and its landslides, winter frost, and when crowds and prices peak.
