Silver Waterfall
Silver Waterfall (Thac Bac) is one of the tallest and most powerful waterfalls near Sapa, dropping in a long cascade visible from the road, with a steep staircase leading up alongside it to a viewing area partway up. It's more dramatic and higher-volume than nearby Love Waterfall, particularly in the wet season, though the staircase climb requires a reasonable level of fitness.
It's typically combined with Love Waterfall on the same trip out of Sapa town, since both sit along the same route toward the base of Fansipan.
