"In Sa Pa, the most popular activities are trekking the terraced slopes and staying with hill tribes, and the best way to do both is with Sapa O'Chau, a nonprofit homestay and trekking service, which puts funds back into the community such as improving village schools, providing English classes to H'mong guides and street vendors," the magazine says.

It also recommends a boat trip in the Mekong Delta, which is famous for mangroves, cajuput forests, floating markets and orchards.
