Hi sorry for the late reply,
the village is definatly safe to stay in, but you need to get a guide as I dont think they will allow you to just walk in.

Hey thanks for the reply, better late than never haha; book my air tickets going in mid-june. Yea heard lots of unflattering comments on halong bay as well. Looks like it doesnt live up to its expectation. Maybe i shld skip that and have more days to explore the central area.
Picture #17 is really stunning man, will love to stay there. Care to share what's the name of the guesthouse; it is at lao cai or sapa? Low-budget lol? Anyway how much did you spend for the sapa 2d1n tour. Checking online, they offered me quite expensive rate man like 150 USD though inclusive of train to and fro hanoi.
Cant afford to spend more, me poor boy still schooling.
Hope you can give me a few pointers
