In addition to beautiful natural landscapes, Sapa is also well known for its delicious specialties that vividly reflect ethnic people's customs here. One of dishes that should be given a try is Lon cap nach (clamped-under-the-armpit pig).The name arises from the fact that pigs around 10kgs in weight are carried under the arm for sales at market.

Due to growing unbridled under severely cold weather all year round, pig's meat here is much lean, solid and sweet, which makes the dish distinctive from other places.

Pigs are cleaned, spiced and grilled as a whole. It is common to enjoy this dish with Tao Meo wine. The clamped-under-the-armpit pig meat is worth a try when you pay a visit to Sapa townlet.
