Cat Cat Village is a popular tourist destination located two kilometers from Sapa Town in Lao Cai. Endowed with stunning mountains, rice fields and other natural sights, it's no wonder both local and international visitors flock to the place.

Cat Cat Village has been established since the 19^th century and made up of the Mong ethnic group. The village is basically provincial with sights like immense rice fields yet at the same time unique because it has its own share of mountains, waterfalls and rapids. Bac and Tien Sa are two famous waterfalls in the place. But as in a rural area, the Mong people are generally farmers who grow rice and maize and practice manual cultivation. They also grow cotton, flax and other plants that can be processed for clothing. The Mong women are in charge of this department, making festive patterns of leaves, trees, animals and plants. Cat Cat villagers also make traditional handicrafts. Moreover, they also produce jewelry made from silver, copper and aluminum. In fact, the designs are so elegant that tourists always make sure to buy some as souvenirs.

Mong architecture is basically composed of ancient design. A traditional Mong house has three compartments with Pomu wood as roof and rafters with three horizontal columns placed on round or square stones as the structure. The walls are made of sawn timer with three doors: the main door is positioned at the central compartment of the house, to be opened only on special occasions such as Tet, weddings, funerals, or feasts; while two side doors are placed at the end of the house. There is an inlaid floor for food storage and a guest room for visitors.

The Mong people also practice one-of-a-kind customs. One of these is “keo vo” which is like a courtship process. When a man gets to know and eventually grown in love with a girl, Mong custom dictates that he should hold a feast for his friends to ask for help and plan how to woo the girl and get her to agree to marry him and stay in his house for three days. If the girl is convinced during that time, the man will then set up a formal wedding for them. But if the girl refuses, they will share a bowl of wine as a toast to friendship and treat as if the courtship and proposal never happened. “Cho tin” is another tradition practiced among Mong people. Worships are also practiced at the start of every year and the end of summer and autumn.

Because of its unique culture, Cat Cat Village is known as the Land of Festivals. In addition to its breathtaking scenery and other interesting features, it's only natural that tourists would want to explore and experience for themselves the innate beauty of Cat Cat Village.
