Most tourists wont see it as they are turning left to visit the Cat Cat village but looking at the right side instead will make you discover the San Sa Ho community house, where all the villagers around come to keep informed about lot of things !
It is all depends on WHO you are coming visiting the villages as they are close to Sapa town and you can easily do it alone and discover San Sa Ho your way. Then you can come visit with a guide, there is plenty of travel offices offering you the prestation in town and also many guides that can be founded in the streets.
That is a good question as San Sa Ho could also be written San Xa Ho with a X and with a S.
A lot of thing can catch your attention in San Sa Ho. The most popular attraction being the Cat Cat village where most of tourists visiting Sapa discover first. Next to Cat Cat is the village of Sin Chai, which is more authentic and where you will see the Black Hmong minority etcnic people living in their daily life. Then, the village of Y Linh Ho will be on your way when you go visit Lao Chai village throught the trekking from Cat Cat. Note that those 3 villages are under the management of the San Sa Ho commune.
