good if you only have limited time and don't want to trek for for long. I still recommend to visit more off beaten villages. It will provide you more opportunity to oserve the real way of life and breathtaking views. More

Was a great walk down the hill and loved the waterfall at the bottom. I decided to get a motorbike back to town, lots of fun. More

The village is an easy, pleasant, mainly downhill walk from Sapa, less than 30 minutes, with some steep steps. Stalls along the way, sell usual knick knacks that one can get anywhere in Vietnam.
