Information Ta Phin Village

Ta Phin is a village of the ethnic group H'mong which is at 12 kilometres far from Sa Pa to the north-western. For a long time, it has been chosen as a destination to visit by several tourists once coming to Sa Pa. The plum and cherry flowers here do not only blossom in spring but also in other seasons; that makes Ta Phin beautiful all the year.

The first stop before going into the village is Ta Phin Monastery which was built in 1942. In the past, its name was Luyen Tam Monastery belonging to the branch of the nuns pertaining to the adapted Ci To Religious Society. After many years of being deserted, this monastery has become a place embellishing the varied collection of the beauty of Ta Phin land. From here, tourists can go deeper into the village owned by the community of H'mong and Dao people. People can have a look at spectacular brocade products like handkerchiefs, bags, knapsacks and other kinds of souvenirs that travellers can buy as presents for their relatives and friends when coming back from the journey. To the local inhabitants in the North-Western region, brocade products are not only things used in daily life but also keepsakes that young girls and boys exchange as the proofs of their love in the kermises. Usually, the girls here are taught to embroider and weave since they are only seven or eight years old. And tourists will easily catch those pictures when taking a stroll around the village.

One another place that tourists are supposed to have to visit is the grotto lying deeply in the hillside in Ta Phin. The grotto system which is more than ten kilometres long and poetic and mysterious is the source of the spring Ta Chai that flows windingly across the primeval forests. This has created a picturesque landscape painting of the village.
