Ta
Van is located in Vietnam in the
northern province of Lao Cai, about
5 kilometres from Sapa, at an
altitude of 1, 816 meters. This
province borders the province of
Yunnan in south-west China, and the
indigenous people here share many
cultural features with their Chinese
neighbours.
Also located in the valley of Muong
Hoa, Ta van is a village of Giay
people, who look more like the
traditional Viet living the Red
delta. This village is normally a
combination in the visit to Lao chai
village on the trek to Muong Hoa
valley. It is also a popular stop
for those who would like to
experience an overnight home stay
with a family of Giay people here,
sharing dinner with them as a member
of their family.
Ta
Van is a small village set within a
picturesque valley not far from the
northern Vietnamese mountain resort
of Sa Pa. The area is renowned for
its colourful ethnic minorities, and
Ta Van is home to two such groups. A
stay with one of the farmer families
here will give you a close-up
experience of the life-style and
culture typical of the area.
Trekking in the surrounding area is
most satisfying
