Arriving to Hanoi on Friday around 2PM, leaving on Monday at 11AM. Will be there mid-september this year.

Question is - does travel to Sapa worth the trouble? Based on reading, it would be at least 7h ride via bus/minibus. Also, seem these buses depart early in the morning and we would like to depart on afternoon on friday and come back on Sunday.

If it is too much trouble, where else to go and see spending no more than 4h one way? Have heard about Mộc Châu District but not much information is available online, at least in English.
