Lao Cai Train Station
The 'back door' train station, known in Vietnamese as Ga B, is located around the corner from the main train station in Hanoi. The train ride is about 10 hours and the best way to travel is at night in a sleeper car. When you wake up, you have arrived! However, after arriving from Lao Cai it is another 40km to Sapa and the easiest way to get there is in one of the many minibuses that surround the train station.
