Sa Pa is receiving an increasing number of visitors who are coming to see frost and snow as the temperature has sharply dropped to around zero degrees centigrade.
Lots of tourists have complained about the uncomfortable roads.
Main streets in Sa Pa like Ngu Chi Son, Xuan Vien and Thach Son are full of pot-holes and mud and soil caused by trucks which serve construction sites.
Local people said that they have to face dust on a sunny day, while the roads are quite slippery on rainy days. They feel very disappointed when many roads in the town have been seriously damaged by overloaded vehicles.
