Love Waterfall

Getting around: About 14km northwest of Sapa town, near the base of Fansipan — a 25-30 minute taxi or motorbike ride.
Hours: Typically open daily, roughly 7am-5:30pm.

Love Waterfall (Thac Tinh Yeu) is a scenic forest waterfall tied to a local folk legend about a fairy and a woodcutter, reached by a walking path along a stream through fern-covered forest that's pleasant in its own right, separate from the falls themselves. It's often visited together with Silver Waterfall, since both sit along the same road out toward the base of Fansipan.

The walk in is relatively easy and shaded, making it a comfortable, moderate outing compared to some of the more strenuous hikes in the wider Sapa area.
