Located about 12km from the town center, Silver waterfall is formed by sources of water from the Lo Sui Tong mountain peak. View from the distance, the fall is like a white dragon cascading down from the top. Continue the trip to Heaven Gate, the highest stretch of road in Vietnam where you can enjoy the fantastic view of Fansipan Mountain afar and a panorama of the green valley below.


Meet with your guide at your hotel and drive about 30 minutes to Silver Waterfall (best seen in the rainy season from May to November), take a short walk to the waterfall where great views are offered of the surrounding mountains and lush forests of the Hoang Lien National Park. Along the way your guide will explain about this special part of Sa Pa, where many tree species are grown such as plum and peach trees. Continue by car 10 minutes up to Heaven's Gate, from here you can see Fansipan mountain, the roof of Indochina’ at the height of 3143 meters above sea level.
 
Note: You also can change to Cat Cat Village & Y Linh Ho
 
Enjoy a short car ride just 3 km out of Sa Pa to Cat Cat village inhabited by a community of Hmong ethnic minority people. The village is known as a cultural site since many traditions and customs of the Black Hmong are still preserved to date. The traditional trades of brocade making and silver and bronze smith are still practiced nowadays by villagers after numerous generations of their ancestors. You can visit the Hmong women by their looms weaving fabrics, which will be later on dyed with sap from leaves for the desired coloration.
Next, your walk through the village will take you to Tien Sa waterfall (Silver Waterfall) where a French-built hydropower station has been in service since 1920. Leave Cat Cat village and trek a 5 km winding dirt trail by mountainside along a small river in a tranquil setting of hilly land with terraced paddy fields. Arrive in Y Linh Ho village, another Hmong residence characterized by simple houses built of bamboo and clay. Slowly wander around to observe and interact with villagers dressed in elaborate silver-studded clothing and leggings. Drive back to your hotel.
