    Path to Love Waterfall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    The waterfall starts from the peak of Fansipan Mountain which is the highest peak in Vietnam<\/a>. To get to it you will need to walk through the forest for about 30 minutes. Don’t worry, there is a paved path and stairs that will lead you straight to it. The scenery along the way gets more and more beautiful only to end with the majestic 100 meters tall Love Waterfall. This is definitely one of the best waterfalls in Sapa.

    The legend says that a long time ago, this waterfall was the place where fairies bathed. One day, one of the fairies heard a young boy playing the flute and fell in love with him. She then came to the Love Waterfall every day to hear his songs. Unfortunately, her parents found out and forbade her from ever coming back to the waterfall. The fairy was so sad that she transformed herself into a bird just to be able to be together with her love forever. This is why this place was named the Love Waterfall.<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    You can have the Love Waterfall for yourself<\/h3>\n

    \"Love
    \nSince this place is not yet on tourists’ radar, you will have the chance to have the entire waterfall just for yourself to admire. When we visited, there were only two other people. We were really happy to be in a quiet place, away from the Sapa chaos.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Things to keep in mind:<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. \n

      The water is freezing cold<\/h3>\n

      If you are planning to take a bath in the waterfall, you should reconsider it. It is possible but there is a high chance that you will catch a cold – the water is freezing. I put my feet in the water and after 5 seconds I could barely feel them.<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Bring comfortable shoes and water with you<\/h3>\n

      You will have to climb a few stairs and walk on wooden bridges. Therefore, having comfortable shoes is a must. Also bring a bottle of water with you since once you enter the site there aren’t any shops. You can buy one from the kiosks near the parking lot.<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Love Waterfall Sapa entrance fee<\/h3>\n

      Right near the parking lot there is a kiosk where you will have to pay 70,000 VND (for adults) or 30,000 VND (for children) in order to visit the Love waterfall. I don’t usually agree with paying to see the nature but in this case I believe that the money is actually invested in maintaining the pathway and cleaning the area.<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Love Waterfall Sapa opening hours<\/h3>\n

      Unfortunately, the opening hours are not displayed but I am sure that you can visit whenever you want. There is a chance that if you visit very early in the morning, there won’t be anyone at the ticket office.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
