We pick up all the guests in SApa Town.Y Linh Ho is a villages in Muong Hoa valley. The scenery is beautiful and peaceful.

Y Linh Ho village is surrounded by the majestic Hoang Lien Son range, located in San Sa Ho commune. Along the Muong Hoa Valley, from Sapa town, you go to Lao Chai village. Passing Lao Chai village about 3km at the foot of the slope, visitors will see a glimpse of Y Linh Ho village, where you can see the most amazing terraced fields. From there, you see the tiny Lao Chai San 2 bridge on the left hand crossing the deep abyss to connect Lao Chai Village and Y Linh Ho Village. You just cross this bridge that arrives at Y Linh Ho Village.

We recommend you go on foot to the village because the bridge is so tiny and its construction is so simple that it is just suitable to cross by walking. The path to Y Linh Ho Village is still so bad and not suitable for motorbikes but suitable to check-in and take photos to make memories.Lao Chai Village, with its irresistible temptation, will attract you at first sight. Lao Chai Village is situated about 7 km to the southeast of Sapa town’s center. It lies peacefully in a deep valley named Muong Hoa while embraced by marvelous ranges of Hoang Lien Son Mountain. If you have ever been concerned about Vietnamese history, you will definitely know that Lao Chai Village is the home of two ethnic groups including Giay people and Black H’mong people. From a higher view, their densely-populated houses are easily recognized.Ta Van village is actually a small community with hospitable, amiable and friendly people living together at peace. They scatter at the foot the of the mountain, the valleys or along the streams. They live on growing rice and producing instruments as well as engraved silver.
