Visit Ta Phin village, located in a scenic valley about 12km from Sapa town, primarily home to the Red Dao and Black H'mong ethnic groups. The Red Dao women are easily recognizable by their elaborate red headdresses and intricately embroidered clothing. Ta Phin village Sapa is renowned for its traditional Red Dao herbal baths, known for their medicinal and relaxing properties – you can often arrange to experience one here.
Besides learning about Red Dao culture and potentially enjoying an herbal bath, Ta Phin is also a great place to purchase authentic Sapa handicrafts, particularly the detailed embroidery produced by local women. A visit here, often included in Sapa culture tours, offers a glimpse into the specific traditions of the Red Dao community.
