Hanoi/Sapa Trip 2025 - Day 4 - Cat Cat Village

Day 4, after breakfast before heading back to Hanoi, we went for sightseeing at Cat Cat Village in Sapa. Cat Cat village was named after a waterfall, the french called it CatScat but the vietnamese pronounced it as Cat Cat. So the village is named as Cat Cat Village. This village is more touristy but I kind of like it as there's many photograp spots. We even rented the  traditional costumes and wore it as we walked around the village hahaha. It  costs around 250,000 dong for rental of the costume (S$12.50)




Many tourists wearing the  traditonal costumes walking around the village.


There's a lot of walking in this village and many stairs and uneven path/
A cute looking tree house, love how many nice spots for us to take instagram photos hahaha.


Making of incense josssticks

















Wonderful to have the waterfall as a background for photography (No , I am not in this photos hahaha)
After all the fun and photography in Cat Cat Village, we took the tram to bring us out to the car park to board our mini bus.
Time to check out of our hotel and head back to Hanoi.
