With a height of 1900 meters it is the highest mountain pass in Vietnam and is often called Heaven’s Gate, because the landscape looks like a gate to heaven.Apart from the trekking routes, rice fields and food, Sapa has a little hidden gem. The Love Waterfall is situated just 14 kilometers away from the city, surrounded by unspoiled nature. I absolutely loved this place. It is incredible how connected I felt with the nature there. I recommend visiting the Love Waterfall, Sapa and I am going to tell you why below.

The waterfall starts from the peak of Fansipan Mountain which is the highest peak in Vietnam. To get to it you will need to walk through the forest for about 30 minutes. Don’t worry, there is a paved path and stairs that will lead you straight to it. The scenery along the way gets more and more beautiful only to end with the majestic 100 meters tall Love Waterfall. This is definitely one of the best waterfalls in Sapa.Sin Chai village is home of the Red Dao people. Where the women wear beautifully embroidered garments with silver jewellery and a huge turban. The village situated at the roof of Fansifan Mountain.

From here you may enjoy enormous spectacular landscapes before scaling on the way from a jeep in come back to Sapa. Sin Chai is a village of the Red Dao individuals, whose women wear beautifully embroidered garments with silver jewellery and a huge turban. This short trekking Vietnam trip to Sin Chai allows visitors for acclimatization. Sin Chai is a neighborhood village. Here the natives will spend some time to educate Textile weaving and dyeing, will take the group on a locally constructed trail to explain the name and functions of the local flora.
