The station comprises six storeys and one basement and was built
at a total cost of VND200 billion (US$8.6 million), by Ha Son Tourism Transport
Company.
The Sa Pa bus station is equipped with a smart operation system and the data is
connected with the Vietnam
General Directorate for Roads. Buses travelling in and out of the station are
managed by magnetic cards and monitoring cameras.
It also features modern amenities, such as waiting lounges for VIP passengers,
restaurants and entertainment services for children, which are expected to
offer an excellent experience to visitors to the town.
Vice Chairman, Nguyen Thanh Duong, of Lao Cai province, where the station is
located, said he expects domestic transport companies to open international
routes with the Sa Pa bus station as a key hub.
Each year Sa Pa welcomes around 2.5 million domestic and
foreign tourists.
