Sapa, officially TTTM Sapa (Vietnamese: Trung Tâm Thương Mại Sapa, Chinese: 中心商賣沙垻), sometimes called Little Hanoi, Little Saigon, or Prague's Hanoi, is the largest Vietnamese enclave in the Czech Republic, located in the Libuš and Kunratice districts. It was created within the area of a former meat-packing plant and poultry farm around 2000 and is often referred to as a "city within a city" by the media. After Ukrainians and Slovaks, Vietnamese are the largest ethnic minority in the country, with Sapa being the so-called Czech "Vietnamese capital". Sapa offers many restaurants, food stands, specialized grocery stores, a warehouse club called Tamda Foods, tutoring and childcare services, space for social events, and a Buddhist temple. The total area is 35 hectares (86 acres), and as of 2012, around seven thousand people lived and worked there.
