Cat Cat Village - sketchy trait in mountainous region of Sapa

It would be a big loss for travelers for not visiting Cat Cat Village located in Sapa Town, Lao Cai Province because of its beautiful and wild terrace fields, curling stone road and long-standing culture of the Mong ethnic minority people.

Because this is mountainous terrain, tourists have to walk from downtown Sapa Town for about 45 minutes to get to Cat Cat Village instead of using a car to contemplate the landscapes.

On the way, tourists can capture the peaceful images of Mong girls smiling in their colorful costumes or selling brocade bangles or Mong women knitting brocades in different patterns of flowers, trees, leaves and animals in front of their house or cute children with rosy cheeks eating candy.

Mong people are quite friendly and have been attached to their traditional work of planting cotton trees, terrace fields and corn fields and weaving brocade cloth. Coming to Cat Cat, travelers should taste some specialties of the Mong people including corn wine, thang co (a mixture of animal meat and zangs) and chicken’s blood curds among others.

Cat Cat Village could be a hide-way destination for those living in noisy and animated cities to escape. Once visiting this village, our fatigue was replaced with excitement and refreshment with wild nature and the good-natured Mong people. (Source: SGT)
