Sa Pa – Stairway to Heaven
Korean economic daily Hankyung and leading lifestyle magazine GQ Korea praised Sa Pa as “Switzerland of Vietnam”. With majestic Fansipan peak, beautiful terraced fields, diverse and unique culture of ethnic minorities, Sa Pa offers Korean tourists an impressive journey of discovery and many unforgettable experiences.
After visiting Sa Pa on chilly days, GQ Korea magazine described this place as a "stairway to heaven" thanks to its majestic mountain ranges and "cloud-touching" scenic spots everywhere.
Reporter Kim Eun Hee was deeply impressed by the terraced fields and the 3,143-meter-high Fansipan peak – known as the “roof of Indochina”. The higher she climbed, the thicker the fog seemed to cover everything, creating a magical space. When she stepped off the cable car, “the feeling of curiosity about what was behind the fog made my heart flutter”, the writer Kim shared.
Meanwhile, ELLE magazine reporter Lee Maroo has a lot of affection for Ban May in Sun World Fansipan Legend. The female reporter could not hide her excitement when experiencing the craft village, folk games, enjoying the highland specialties and discovering the highland culture of the indigenous people. 
She also emphasized to Korean tourists that “Sa Pa is the only destination in Vietnam where it snows,” and advised tourists to prepare warm clothes to fully enjoy the trip.
Hankyung Daily also shared that veteran actor Hwang Jung Min and the famous cast of Running Man, including Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin and Yang Se Chan, recently chose Sa Pa as the destination for the reality show “Pinggyego”. The show’s 5 videos of Sa Pa experiences quickly reached nearly 36.5 million views on YouTube. The program not only made Sa Pa the center of attention of the online community, but also increased the interest of Korean people in this poetic land.
Hotel de la Coupole – Architectural masterpiece among the clouds
Not only were Korean reporters fascinated by the majestic natural beauty of Sa Pa, they were also particularly impressed by the unique architecture of the Hotel de la Coupole – a masterpiece among the clouds.
The Neighbor, a prestigious news site about the Korean high-class lifestyle and luxury products, said that this is a "valuable" experience when coming to Sa Pa. "There are many unique accommodation options in Sapa, but when it comes to class, aesthetic taste and relaxation, Hotel de la Coupole-M Gallery Sapa is the top choice. As the only 5-star international hotel in Sapa, it has a prime location, excellent facilities and unrivaled hospitality."
The Neighbor writer shared that when entering the lobby, visitors will immediately feel a different atmosphere compared to other high-end hotels. The interior here is inspired by the traditional culture of Sapa, and influenced by the French haute couture fashion of the 1920s and 1930s. Designed by famous American architect Bill Bensley, the hotel is decorated with hundreds of fashion illustrations, photos, props, and traditional handicrafts of ethnic minorities. The decorative details are both sophisticated and stylish, but not flashy.
Hankyung Daily commented that Hotel de la Coupole offers a classy accommodation space with a panoramic view of the majestic mountains, "redefining the standard of luxury in the highlands". The unique architecture of Hotel de la Coupole adds to the mysterious charm, making the hotel full of cinema in every corner. Female reporter Kang Eun Young of Hankyung wittily described the main lobby as a hat workshop from the Japanese animation "Howl's Moving Castle", or reminiscent of the legendary stop 93/4 in the "Harry Potter" series. A special highlight in the lobby is the reception desk creatively designed with colorful industrial threads, recreating the scene of an artistic handmade sewing workshop, creating a unique space in the heart of Sa Pa.
“This place feels like being lost in a maze, reminiscent of traditional Korean Hanok houses,” Hankyung reporter Kang Eunyoung commented on Hotel de la Coupole. In addition, the hotel also scores points thanks to its chain of high-class amenities, especially the Le Grand Bassin warm-water swimming pool and the Absinthe Bar located on the top floor. The Le Grand Bassin swimming pool impresses with its sophisticated design, using luxurious emerald green tones, combined with large bronze statues along the pillars, magnificent chandeliers, and artistic paintings on the ceiling and walls. This is an ideal space to relax and warm up in the typical chilly weather of Sa Pa. Meanwhile, the Absinthe bar is considered the perfect destination for a luxurious afternoon tea - a unique experience only available in Sa Pa, with a sophisticated artistic space and a beautiful view of the majestic mountain range.
On Naver – the most used information search engine in Korea, reporter Kang’s article received many positive responses from Korean readers. Many tourists expressed that Sa Pa is a dream destination, a place they wish to visit at least once in their life to experience the majestic natural beauty and unique cultural richness.
