[2025 San Sa Ho Attraction] Travel Guide for Cat Cat village (Updated May)

Here's a travel plan from Bangkok to Vietnam, covering Sapa and Hanoi, perfect for a 4-5 day long weekend. Day 1: Fly directly from Bangkok to Hanoi. Skip Hanoi and take a sleeper bus from Hanoi to Sapa, which takes about 5-6 hours. Review of the sleeper bus to Sapa: - Travel time: 6-7 hours (overnight), arriving in Sapa in the morning - Cost: around 700 THB - Cleanliness: quite good, new bus - Comfort: the bus is not crowded, comfortable for sleeping Day 2: Arrive in Sapa in the morning. Drag your luggage from the drop-off point to the hotel. We stayed at Chau Long Sapa Hotel, which is great. The hotel is large, with beautiful views and delicious food. Then, take a walk around Sapa town, visit Cong Cafe, which is not far from the hotel and within walking distance. There are many shops along the way. After that, hire a car to Cat Cat Village, rent traditional tribal costumes for photos, and visit the thrilling Rong May Glass Bridge, which has both a glass bridge and a glass elevator. It's a must-visit. Return to Sapa town, visit Sapa Lake, and head back to the hotel (all within walking distance). Day 3: In the morning, take the cable car to the top of Fansipan Mountain. The air is thin, so be prepared for possible dizziness. Buy tickets at Sun Plaza. There are plenty of winter clothes, shoes, gloves, and hats to shop for along the way. At the top of Fansipan, there are cable cars and trams, as well as restaurants. You can choose to walk up or down if you prefer. We went up to the large Buddha statue and paid our respects. Then, return in the evening, stop by Sun Plaza for some shopping, and travel back to Hanoi. Day 4: Arrive in Hanoi in the morning, check into the hotel, and rest. Then, explore Hanoi city, including St. Joseph’s Cathedral and Tran Quoc Pagoda, and go shopping in Hanoi. Day 5: In the morning, visit Cong Cafe in central Hanoi, buy souvenirs, pack your belongings, and head to the airport.

"Sapa (Sapa)", a city of mountains and fog, the weather is cold all year round. Located at an average altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level, a city full of nature, lovely people. Went at the end of December 2022, there was snow falling on Fansipan Mountain. It is a city that I like very much because it is peaceful, the atmosphere is good, the weather is cold in the single digits, the lowest temperature I went to in the city was 1 ° C. The food is delicious and not expensive. I really like Sapa. 📍Sapa tourist coordinates 🌈 Fansipan 🌈 Moana Sapa 🌈 Cat Cat Village 🌈 Sapa Square 🌈 Sapa Stone Church 🌈 Viettrekking Sapa 🌈 Sapa Lake #Tourist attractions #Sapa tour #Sapa #Sapa mountain city #Sapa coordinates

Having been to Sapa before, we were excited to return and delve deeper into its natural beauty and cultural treasures. This second trip enabled us to discover some lesser-known yet equally stunning spots that we highly recommend to anyone visiting. We started our day at O Quy Ho Pass, also known as Heaven’s Gate, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Hoang Lien Son Mountain Range. As the sun rose, the mist slowly lifted, revealing layers of mountains bathed in golden light. This spot is perfect for dramatic landscape photography 📸 I’d recommend arriving by 5:30 AM ⛅️ to catch the sunrise. 📍Highway 4D, O Quy Ho Commune, Sapa, Lao Cai Province After sunrise, we visited Ta Phin Village, home to the Red Dao ethnic minority. We explored the traditional stilt houses, lush rice terraces, and the Ta Phin Monastery ruins. The vibrant red costumes of the locals provided beautiful contrasts in our photos 📸 Around 8 AM–10 AM is the best time to visit when the light highlights the details of the rice fields and village life. 📍Ta Phin Commune, Sapa, Lao Cai Province Mid-morning, we returned to Cat Cat Village, a charming village known for its cascading waterfalls and traditional Black Hmong culture. We trekked along the scenic pathways and captured stunning photos of locals weaving textiles, as well as the picturesque Cat Cat Waterfall. Arrive around 10:30 AM to avoid crowds and enjoy great lighting for portraits 📸 📍Cat Cat Village, San Sa Ho Commune, Sapa, Lao Cai Province We also headed to Topas Ecolodge, a luxurious retreat perched on a hill with 360-degree views of the surrounding rice terraces. The serene ambiance and infinity pool overlooking the mountains made it one of the most photogenic spots on our trip. I’d recommend trying their Vietnamese set menu while soaking in the view. 📍Thanh Kim Commune, Sapa, Lao Cai Province We also explored the Silver Waterfall, where the cascading water glistens in the sunlight. We hiked up to the viewing platform for sweeping views of the waterfall and the lush forest below. Arriving at 3 PM gave us soft and golden light, which added a magical touch to our photos 📸 📍Highway 4D, San Sa Ho Commune, Sapa, Lao Cai Province To end our day, we took the cable car 🚠 to Fansipan Peak, the highest mountain ⛰️ in Indochina. Watching the sunset from the summit was an unforgettable experience, with clouds rolling over the peaks and the sky painted in hues of orange and pink. This is a must-visit for landscape and panoramic shots 📸 Arrive by 4:30 PM to catch the golden hour and sunset at 5:30 PM. 📍Fansipan Legend Cable Car Station, Sapa, Lao Cai Province This second trip to Sapa was even more magical than our first. We explored new places, deepened our connection with the local culture, and captured some of our most memorable photos 😍 #vietnamtrip #Vacation #trip

📍cat cat village, Sa pa 🚘It takes about 6 hours from Hanoi - I recommend taking a cabin sleeping bus. (Sa Pa Express recommended) 🎟️Entrance fee: 1.5 million dong It was a rough journey to get there because it was Labor Day😢 But it melted away like snow while looking at this view Is it within walking distance from Sapa? The taxi fare that the hotel office told me was 1.5 million dong one way, but when I actually got there, I could have walked... . (It was Labor Day, so there were a lot of local tourists, so it was actually difficult to get there by taxi.. I got off in the middle and decided to just walk!!) There are a lot of local costume rental shops lined up from the entrance. How about renting one and making good memories? There are shops that braid your hair nicely and do your makeup. On the way from Hanoi to Sapa, all the cars I had booked were canceled because it was Labor Day. On the way, I had no choice, so I chose the Sao Viet vehicle that had a 3.1 million VND time slot and set off. (The vehicle I originally reserved also picked me up at the airport, but none of the remaining Sao Viet vehicles picked me up at the airport, so I had to go all the way to the city.) I arrived exhausted from the loud phone calls, honking horns, and talking loudly… On the way back, I took the Sapa Express that I had reserved, and it was so quiet and the horn didn’t honk, which was nice. #VietnamTravel #SapaTravel

Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam which is also filled with insane amount of traffic. Normally travellers will arrive into Hanoi, roughly a day stay or 2 before they head out, and for us we went towards the village of Sapa where Cat Cat Village is located. One way to get here is to hire a private tour bus to drive you to sapa as this can be almost a 6 hours drive. Upon reaching Sapa, you be greeted with views of the mountains areas as Cat Cat Village technically is situated at the base of fansipan and most tourists will stop here for a night or 2 to enjoy the traditional local food and especially to catch the view from afar of Fansipan. Its quite an amazing view from Cat Cat Village alone, so you should definitely stop here before heading up. #celebratewithtrip #fansipan #vietnam #roadtrip #catcatvillage #mountains #scenic

There are still ethnic minorities in Vietnam who speak different languages ​​and live different lives. Cat Cat Village is one of them. It has a rural landscape that looks like it came out of a Southeast Asian movie and has a very peaceful scenery. The only thing that's a bit disappointing is that it's been over-tourized, so it feels more like a theme park than a place where ethnic minorities live.🤔 As a bonus, the local guide was very friendly (no tip required) #VietnamTravel #Sapa #CatCatVillage #EthnicMinority

Getting There - Bus from Sapa town Attractions - the traditional village of the minority here. There’s a fair bit of steps to go down to the village. Along the way, you can admire the mountain view of Sapa. We came here in the late afternoon and managed to see the sunset. So beautiful. This used to be a real village but now turned to tourist attraction. Don’t expect to see “real” activities going-on in the village. But you will get a glimpse of their daily life. The water fall at the bottom of the village is beautiful for some photo opportunities. There’s also a display of how the tribal ladies made the handicraft cloth (thổ cẩm). They used the traditional method of dying and thus their hands are also dyed with blue.

It was such a cute and lovely village. The sight of the neighborhood kids running around was just like a fairy tale. I also like that you can experience wearing traditional clothes in Cat Cat Village! #Vietnam

Cat Cat Village in Sabai City, Vietnam has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years. Ticket price: about 150,000 VND (about NT$200) for adults, half price for children. Transportation: It takes about 10 minutes by taxi from the center of Sapa, or 20 minutes on foot. Costume experience: The price of renting traditional Miao clothing is about 200,000-500,000 VND (260-650 TWD), including accessories and simple makeup and hair. It is considered a must for taking photos. The natural landscape and ethnic minority culture of Mao Mao Village Attractions such as waterfalls, terraced fields, stilt houses, and river valleys were mentioned repeatedly, with the waterfall area in particular being described as a "fairyland" or a "must-photograph landmark." The Hmong (Hmong) people’s traditional costumes, handicrafts (such as embroidery and silver jewelry), and song and dance performances, some of which provide in-depth information about the village’s historical background (such as the origin of its name during the French colonial period). The village is over-commercialized, with souvenir shops and paid photo spots lining the road, and even the need to "edit out the background crowds" reflects the two-sided nature of tourism development. The phenomenon of residents selling handmade goods or children selling souvenirs has triggered reflections on the tourism economy and cultural preservation. Maomao Village has lost its original tribal charm and has been transformed into an "artificial folk village". For example, the merchandise in the shopping street is highly homogeneous and some attractions require additional fees. Maomao Village successfully highlights its feature of "the integration of nature and culture", but rarely explores in depth the contemporary life of ethnic minorities. For travelers seeking an in-depth experience, it is recommended to refer to itineraries that combine surrounding villages (such as Tapan Village and Lao Chai Village) and avoid crowds during holidays to balance sightseeing convenience and cultural authenticity. #VietnamFreeTravel
