thac bac (silver waterfall)

u see the bridge that connects the 2 banks at the centre



i hope i dun fall...haha...

our final stop is back to the silver waterfall...the 100m tumbling falls are really impressive and peaceful...you will get to climb the staircase up the falls and cross a bridge connecting both banks and come down by the other staircase...ling told me that the thac bac waterfall is actually the freshwater supply for the whole sapa and water are pumped from the waterfall all the way to sapa town...sometimes u can spot tourists trying to take a bath at the bottom of the waterfalls...around this time, the sky was getting rather dark...and true enough, when we were on our way back to sapa from the silver waterfall, it started to rain...i thought we were quite lucky that it only rained now and not earlier, else it will have spoilt our whole day tour...we also went pass a big pink building which is the starting permit checkpoint for those adventurous trekkers who wants to conquer the 3143m mount fansipan...i hope one day i will come back here again to take it on!!!
