Cat Cat Village is famous for its peaceful, splendid natural landscape together with an unique customs and cultural activities of the ethnic people.

In 2004,Lao Cai Province’s Tourism Company invested in creating an infrastructure and rebuilding the road to Cat Cat Village.

This turned the village into Cat Cat Tourist Site with the aim of preserving and tapping the traditional crafts of the Mong ethnic people and opening a new direction for tourism in this area

Mong ethnic people live in a community and reside in three-compartment houses roofed with Fokine wood. Traveling along the way to the village, you will see their houses are built in the mountain sides and terraced fields where they do farm and raise livestock. Until now, this tribe still preserves most of their old, unique customs and habits such as wife-snatching, wedding ceremonies and many traditional crafts

While following a brick-paved path leading to the hamlet we saw Mong women weaving and sewing in small houses on the side of the road.

Working on old looms with skillful hands they produce many beautiful brocaded items with colorful delicate patterns such as bags, hats, clothes, dresses, purses and scarves. Stone sculpture has also existed for many generations and brings a stable income to many villagers

Lao Cai Province’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Department has been broaden many programs to develop the potential power for tourism in Cat Cat Village such as the “Cultural Festival Days in Cat Cat Village” and the tours “A Day of Being a Dao Ethnic Farmer” and “A Day of Being a Mong Bride”
