Ta Phin Village

Ta Phin Village is located in Ta Phin Commune, Sapa District, about12kmnortheast of Sapa Townlet. The village is surrounded by mountains and owns spectacular rice terraces.

In Ta Phin Village there are two ethnic minorities living in harmony. They are the Red Dao, who make up the majority, and the Black Mong. It is the best for the tourists to distinguish the difference in culture, way of living of ethnic minorities in Sapa.

A common sight in the village is to see the women and girls sitting together, gossiping and laughing, keeping inside their hands colorful reels of thread and cloths. They sew continuously, even when offering the goods to the customers. Since 1998, Ta Phin has officially become the “brocade village”, where tourists can find the distinctively hand-made brocades made by ethnic people. All of the products are eye-catching with numerous bright colors and patterns, ranging from bag, scarf, purse, to skirt, and even backpack and coat. If you are lucky enough, you can have a chance to see several local festivals such as “dancing festival”, “greeting for the new house”, “oath-taking ceremony” that will help you understand more about the simple but happy and amiable life of ethnic people.
