Sept 28th : CAT CAT VILLAGE
Cat Cat Village is about 2.5 km from Sapa town.. Set in the Moung Hoa Valley, Cat Cat Village is known for its natural beauty and the Hmong culture and traditions.
Traditional wood huts, some serving as homestays overlook mountainside rice field terraces ......a breath taking view indeed.
Cat Cat Village was founded in the middle of 19th Century by the local Mong ethnic. In the early 20th Century the French discovered the village and developed it into a vacation resort.
This village owns a majestic waterfall, whose French name is CatScat. and therefore the village was named after this waterfall....Cat Cat village attracts tourists not only by its unspoiled natural beauty but also by the unique cultural features of its Mong people. Besides cultivating rice on the terraced fields, the residents still preserve and develop traditional crafts.
