Cat Cat Village

Cat Cat Village is the closest to Sape traditional Hmong Village (H'mong). Although it is more of a tourist attraction with a paid entrance, in fact it is very interesting and informative to make an easy trekking walk here. And if you do not plan to make a guided hike or an overnight excursion in one of the villages in the vicinity of Sapa, then the village of Kat Kat is simply a must-visit.

Kat Kat is a whole tourist complex, including entertainment. Along the way you will see fascinating landscapes, inhabitants of local tribes and their way of life. At the entrance, after paying for the ticket, you will be given a conditional map of the village, on which the most interesting places are marked, and this is at least the cat Cat waterfall (aka Tien Sa), a lake, a sculpture in the form of a huge Cup, a suspension bridge, a traditional Hmong house, a garden, watermills. A walk through the village takes place along the paths marked on the map, but in fact you can walk anywhere and how you want, just do not enter the private territory of the Houses of local residents without their permission. Not far from the waterfall there is a cultural center, where several times a day there is a traditional dance and music show, which is included in the entrance fee.

The beginning of the Walk will take you along the shopping malls, where you can buy traditional souvenirs made by the hands of residents of local villages. Prices for souvenirs are acceptable, no higher than in the markets in the center of Sapa, but carefully check whether you are offered a fake made in the factories of China. Even before entering on the road to the village there are several street shops where you can buy clothes and trekking shoes made in Vietnam at very good prices.

In order to visit the village, you do not necessarily need to hire a guide or buy a tour, it is easy to explore it yourself. Just do not be mistaken that this is a simple route for half an hour. In fact, you will first have to get to the entrance of the village, which can be done on foot or by taxi, and then still overcome the route through the village of about 3 kilometers. At the same time, almost all along it will be necessary to go down steeply, then rise. To visit it is worth setting aside at least half a day.
