In the village TA Phin (Ta Phin), about 1 kilometer from its center, to the north, there are mountains, one of which has a cave. This is the only known cave in the Sapa area, equipped and accessible for tourist visits.
It is quite extensive and long, consists of many branches, tourists are allowed to pass no deeper than 300 meters. There is nothing special about it, except for bizarre stalactites, stalagmites and bats, and therefore it is not necessary to include it in your travel program for Sapa. But if you find yourself in Ta Phin village, you can look here, spending no more than half an hour.
You can explore the cave of Tafin yourself, but it is better to do it with a guide from among the local children or women in traditional outfits, who will be ready to take you to the cave only for you to buy something from them from souvenirs. Lighting is made in the cave, but it is turned on only for a fee of 10,000 VND per person. You can go without lighting with your flashlight.
