A Roadtrip To Sapa(Cat Cat Village)
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.

Beautiful tribal village in Sapa
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.

Trip to Sapa, Vietnam 🇻🇳
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 😍

Cat-Cat Village and Its Beautiful Nature
After a long hike of Fansipan, me and my friend decide to the famous Cat Cat Village. Never imagine that I will see a beautiful nature combine with traditionality this beautiful. They preserve their culture and nature well.
Its rainy when I’m there but it put such romance and warm ambience. Its quite cold also so better warm yourself by wearing a bit thick cold there.

Cat Cat Village - Mesmerising Places to Visit in SaPa
#travelanywhere 5 hours train ride from Hanoi will take you to the one of the most beautiful places in Vietnam. SaPa. One of the main attractions there is Cat Cat Village which is located 3km from the main plaza. We get there by motorbike which take around 10 minutes from our hotel. The ticket price is 150k vnd. You can tour inside the village by walk but I recommend take motorbike and tour around the village since it is between the hills. The tour around the village will take about 3 hours to enjoy all of it. #catcatvillage #sapa #awesomepic #buddies

Vinpearl Land, an amusement park + water park + aquarium in Nha Trang!

Vinpearl Land, an amusement park in Nha Trang
I always recommend you to go there because it was really great
The reason is because it's an amusement park that doesn't exist in Korea! It's an amusement park + water park + aquarium all in one place ~~! You can play in the water at the water park, ride the roller coaster, and even the aquarium..!
I definitely recommend it to families with babies, but it's also a big amusement park for couples, and it's really fun all day long
I came for two days because it was bigger and better than I thoughtㅋㅋ

Sapa cat cat village
I made my way to cat cat village while I was traveling in Vietnam sapa previously. There is an entrance fee required to enter and thereafter you can explore this cool village all on your own. Don’t need any tour guides it’s just a simple one way down. You’ll get to see the nice pretty waterfalls and their people here dressed up in the traditional costume. Overall it’s quite a fun and nice place to be at. And I will recommend visiting if you are in sapa Vietnam.

#catcatvillage A beautiful traditional village that you must visit if you’re in Sapa. Do note that there is an entrance fee and there are a lot of uphills, downhills and steps that might be exhausting but it’s a beautiful village. Best to visit in spring, autumn and summer as it wouldn’t be so cold and muddy...The main attraction was the waterfall and the bridge area. Yes it was beautiful but Cat Cat Village is more to market than the village itself. You can’t really see and feel the culture because it is just full of shops and it's just walk trip market..But it has beautiful scenery and products here are very good quality and handmade and we even bought beautiful bags for my in Law.

Stairway down to cat cat village
#thingstodo
I arrived to cat cat village sapa by walking from my hotel entrance to here. Took me about 20 minutes. Then I paid for the entrance fee and was greeted with lots of stairs down. Over here the first thing you see is a super good view! And then you can pay to take photos at some of their photo spots but mostly to enjoy the nice view all around. Looking at the plantations and all. Lots of locals here. Recommend to just take a short nice stroll and enjoy.

Cat Cat Village the most attractive scenics in Sapa.
It is a lovely village with peaceful views & serene atmosphere. We went in December and the weather is cold.
As we explore the picturesque scenes of Sapa, we were awed by the mighty mountains, immense forests, beautiful terraced fields, amazing valleys, and stunning waterfalls.
We did a little shopping at the village too. You can find range of items, from packaged and fresh food to handicrafts and clothes at reasonable prices.
We enjoyed the rural feeling of ancient village here. Worth a visit if you have spare time.

After arriving in Sapa, we visited CatCat Village - a famous village visited by travelers from all over the world. Here, we walked all the way down the slopes and stairs through the woods. Looking from a distance, it was like walking into a paradise in a valley. The cottages were built along the valley, with small bridges crossing the valley and large and small waterfalls. The scenery was pleasant and travelers also able to captured many beautiful photos. We can also sit quietly and enjoy the scenery or walk along the valley to absorb the aura of the valley. In addition, we can also experience local traditional ethnic costumes and travel through the village. From winding little streets, ancient houses, craft villages, white foaming waterfalls to unique performances by local artisans. Passing through the steep stone road, a beautiful scenery unfolds in front of you. A whole white waterfall with fast flowing water; a huge water wheel, a crumbling bamboo bridge, a wooden swing, and a simple hut. This is CatCat Village in Sapa.

Fairyland on Earth in Vietnam
#hiddengems Everyone is talking about going to Sapa but have you heard about this little fairy village? Come close, let me tell you this.
If you ever have a chance to visit Sapa, make sure to spend some time to Cat Cat Village that’s just 20 minutes from the Sapa Town. The ambience is so therapeutic and each corner feels like in a fairyland. They preserve their culture very firmly that you can found many unique tools and foods here.
Tips:
1. You can take either motorcycle or taxi to bring you here but I must tell you wear a proper shoe cause you will need to climb up and down some stairs because this village is located as the valley.
2. Have a visit on the morning so that you won’t encounter so many people and feel the cold breeze of the mountains.
3. Yes, you will need to pay the entrance but worry not it’s worth every penny.
Cheers!!!

Cat Cat village in Sapa
Getting There - On the journey to discover Cat Cat village, there are 2 roads that will surely leave you with the most impressions. This is the road leading to Cat Cat village and the stairway from the gate of Cat Cat village leading the entrance to the inside of the village.
Attractions -
On the stone steps you will see the best of these houses. Although small and simple, it is very pretty with a few flower pots, plant pots placed on the roof, sometimes a wooden swing in front of the house for children to play.
It can be said that the village center is the most prominent stop in the journey to discover Cat Cat village. Crossing the steep, stone-paved road, a whole beautiful scenery will open up before your eyes, but you should pay attention because this road is quite slippery.
A whole white waterfall, fast flowing with murmuring sound. There are quite a few interesting things here for you to discover. The giant watermills, the bamboo bridge precariously over the rolling waterfall, the wooden swings, the rustic cottages, etc. make you not miss to leave.
Hotels - Cat Cat Homestay
Shopping - souvenir shops
