Ta Van village is located 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 
										river 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.  |
