Stroll through the surrounding countryside and enjoy the picturesque landscape of spectacular rice fields, mountains, streams, and hill tribe houses. Travelling to and from Red Dao and H’Mong communes you will learn the difference between the traditional tribal cultures. Some of the locals may invite you to go to their homes to show how they live, what they have and tell you about their families. On following them to their houses, you will find out how simply they live. Any homestay in Taphin is a perfect base for exploring the village and enjoying the nature without disrespect of the natural environment and local village life. The village is not only famous for the pristine and spectacular natural beauty, but also attracting every traveler for the unique ethnic culture values, of which the brocade weaving and Red Dao traditional medicinal herb bath are two “specialties” that you should not miss. Tourists come to Ta Phin can find many distinctively hand-made brocades made by ethnic people. All of the products are eye-catching with numerous bright colors and patterns, ranging from bag, scarf, purse, to skirt, and even backpack and coat. Bathing in medicinal herbs is a Dao New Year’s Eve tradition and nowadays, many Red Dao households are ready to provide tourists with medicinal herbal bath service.
