Nam Than - Nam Many - Nam Sai
Passing through Nam Cang commune is to Nam Than, Nam Nhi and Nam Sai. All three of these communes are located quite far from the town area and beautiful natural scenery. This place is also likened to "Mu Cang Chai in miniature". The most suitable means to visit this commune is a motorbike. You can easily stop at any of your favorite locations to take beautiful photos. However, you need to make sure the steering wheel is firm because the mountainous roads in Sa Pa are quite difficult to walk in many sections.
In addition to admiring the magnificent picture of the terraced fields, here you can also learn about the indigenous culture of the Xa Pho, Dao, Tay, Giay ethnic groups, see the houses covered with moss rolled into bunches on the roof, see the grandmothers and mothers in national costumes, quickly crocheted each shirt and brocade scarf.

Ta Van Village
Ta Van village is located on the territory of Ta Van commune, leaning against the mountain and facing Muong Hoa valley in front. Because the surrounding scenery is terraced fields, coming here in the water season in May-June or the ripe rice season in August-September are all beautiful times. In the morning, sipping a cup of tea, slowly looking into the distance where the terraced fields are wearing a new yellow coat, visitors will have a comfortable feeling of relaxation.
The road to Ta Van village has been renovated and beautiful, but it is still narrow, so to get the most complete experience, you should find beautiful spots in advance and use a motorbike to move conveniently.
