Itinerary
Ta Phin is a small village, inhabited by both Red Dao and Hmong people.

Having both ethnic groups living in the village will allow you to easily see the differences in culture, customs, and identity of the two peoples.
Ta Phin Cave is located in Ta Phin village, Sapa district. The cave has a height of 5m and a width of 3m. Starting the journey to explore the cave, you will have to walk about 30m in the dark, bumpy then you will encounter a large cave. From here, you will follow the directions of the cave, there are places just for one person to go. You will admire the sharp stalactites with lots of extremely unique shapes. Ta Phin Cave was recognized as a National Monument - Attractions in 2017 by Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism
The ancient Ta Phin Monastery, located at the foot of the mountain, was built in 1942. It used to be a place of practice for 12 ascetic nuns of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Catholic Church of Christian Conversion. In 1945, the delegation left Hanoi and the monastery was abandoned to the present day. In general, the monastery consists of a five-room house with the main direction facing west, three stories high, which is the accommodation and activities of the nuns. All now there is no roof, leaving only the walls of stone covered with moss over the years, and sometimes among those cold, gray stones, suddenly there is a sprouting bud, causing people we must widen our eyes in surprise.

About Sapa
Sapa is a cool mountain town in northern Vietnam, set among rice terraces and ethnic-minority villages beneath Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina.
Sapa sits at about 1,500 metres in the Hoàng Liên Sơn range near the Chinese border. It began as a French hill station in the early twentieth century and still has a stone church at its centre. Fansipan, at 3,143 metres the highest mountain in Indochina, rises behind the town, and a cable car now carries visitors most of the way up.
Top-ranked sights in Sapa: Mt. Fansipan, Can Cau Market (Cho Can Cau), Coc Ly Market (Cho Coc Ly).
