About this experience
Silver Waterfall
Located at an altitude of more than 1,800m above sea level, Silver Waterfall is one of the must-see attractions when coming to Sa Pa. From afar, the white water pouring down from the mountain top looks like a silver silk strip shimmering in the sunlight, creating a wild but extremely magnificent scene.
Love Waterfall
Let's put aside the hustle and bustle of life to immerse ourselves in the peaceful space of Love Waterfall. The path to the waterfall is covered with cool green, winding through the pristine vegetation, opening up the scene of white waterfalls pouring down to the shimmering Golden Stream.
Ta Van Village
Hidden in the Muong Hoa valley, Ta Van Village is an ideal destination for those who want to find peace and explore the unique culture of the ethnic minorities in Sa Pa. The scenery here is like a watercolor painting with winding terraced fields, the clear Muong Hoa stream flowing through the village and rustic wooden houses nestled on the mountainside.

Stunning Nature & Scenery
Y Linh Ho stands out with its green terraced fields — or golden yellow when the rice is ripe — stretching along the mountainside, winding around the valley, creating a very impressive “natural picture”.
The village lies at the foot of the Hoang Lien Son Mountain Range, adjacent to Muong Hoa Valley and Muong Hoa Stream — mountains + streams + rice fields blend together, fresh air, pristine nature
Experience the culture and life of the locals
The village is home to ethnic minorities such as the Black H'Mong and Dao people — you can see traditional bamboo houses, fields, trees, and a simple lifestyle in the mountains and forests.
Visitors have the opportunity to learn — see weaving, brocade weaving, experience the daily life of the locals; sometimes they are willing to share their culture, customs, and traditional crafts — something rarely found in places that are too touristy and commercial.
