Things to notes when traveling to Lao Cai during the Tet holiday.
Traveling to Lao Cai during the Lunar New Year is a choice that is hard to ignore for you and your family every time Tet comes and spring comes. In the cold wind of the last days of winter, peach blossoms and apricot blossoms have gradually bloomed.
This is definitely a great place to visit and relax. To fully enjoy your spring trip, you need to pay attention to the following things when traveling to Lao Cai during this Tet holiday!
- Book a hotel room in advance to get the best room because this time often has a full room.
During Tet, the number of tourists increases significantly, so hotel rooms in Lao Cai, especially in tourist destinations such as Sa Pa, Bac Ha, Y Ty, are often “full” and prices are often pushed up. Sometimes, the price increases 2-3 times compared to normal days. Therefore, you should book a room about 1 month in advance to get a good, quality room at a reasonable price. If you book a room close to the departure date, you can get a room at a very cheap price, but the room is often bad and of poor quality. And there is a high risk that there may be no more rooms to book. Rooms in the center will have very high room prices, often encounter traffic jams, not suitable for those who like quiet spaces. But in return, it is easy to walk around, eat, and have fun at night. As for rooms in the suburbs, the room price will increase but will increase slightly, and there will be less traffic jams and a quieter atmosphere.

- Bring warm clothes and enough accessories: Shoes, gloves, woolen hats, earplugs, socks, … (the temperature at this time is about 5-15 degrees, on Fansipan it will be even colder) and medicine (cold, headache, or special medicines that I use regularly).
The weather in Lao Cai during Tet is forecasted to be from 15-20 degrees Celsius. During the day, the weather is sunny and cool; However, at night, the temperature will drop more.
- Tet is the time when prices are pushed up, so always ask for prices before eating and shopping.
When traveling to Lao Cai during Tet, you need to note that service prices often increase 2 to 3 times compared to normal days. Although prices are high, the quality of service is not always guaranteed, which can make tourists dissatisfied. In particular, many services also come with additional fees during this time, so always ask for prices before using any service or ordering any food.
- Tet holidays in Lao Cai often attract a lot of tourists to visit and relax.
During Tet, tourist attractions in Lao Cai are also crowded. If you do not have a detailed plan, you will easily encounter crowded scenes at tourist attractions, reducing the interesting travel experience. You should choose to visit places either earlier or later than usual, avoiding rush hours will be much more comfortable.
- You should buy train or bus tickets 1 month in advance to avoid the situation of sold out tickets.
During Tet, the prices of means of transport are often higher than usual due to the sudden increase in the number of visitors and the demand is greater than the supply. Traveling to Lao Cai during Tet, you can consider choosing a bus or plane for more convenient travel.

- Choosing means of transportation in Lao Cai
Rent a motorbike: This is an interesting experience for those who want to explore Lao Cai freely and flexibly. The cost of renting a motorbike is quite reasonable, from 120,000 – 150,000 VND/day. However, motorbikes are more suitable for groups of young people or those who travel in small numbers.
Taxi: With a fare of about 10,000 – 12,000 VND/km depending on the company, taxis are suitable for short distances or one-way trips. However, if you want to visit many places in one day, renting a car will be more economical and convenient.
