Deep in the Muong Hoa Valley, where golden rice terraces follow the slopes of the mountains, lies one of Sapa’s most charming landmarks: the Ta Van Rattan Bridge (Cau May).

This simple yet iconic bridge was traditionally woven from wild rattan ropes, suspended across the flowing Muong Hoa stream. For centuries, it served as the only way for villagers of Ta Van to cross the water, carrying rice, firewood, or goods to the market.



While today parts of the bridge have been restored for safety, it remains a symbol of local ingenuity and resilience. More than just a crossing point, it represents the connection between villages, ethnic communities, and generations who built their lives along the valley.

Visitors who come here are rewarded not just with a walk across a historic bridge, but with views of rice terraces, streams, and daily life that make the Muong Hoa Valley one of the most beautiful corners of Sapa.



✨ With Explore Real Asia, you can experience the bridge as locals once did — slowly, carefully, and in harmony with the natural world.
