Hanoi - Sapa Tour 2 days 1 night by Bus, sleep in 3 Star hotel in Sapa

Sapa is a small, mountain town in Lao Cai Province. It is located about 350 km northwest of Hanoi, close to the Chinese border. Here's where you'll find the Hoang Lien Son range of mountains, which includes Fan Si Pan—the country's highest peak.This quiet Vietnamese town is home to different ethnic tribal groups. There are five main ethnic groups in Sapa: the Hmong, Dao, Tay, Giay and Xa Pho. It is said that Sapa was first occupied by the first four groups, since the Vietnamese from the lowlands (better known as the Kinh) did not colonise the highest valleys.These days, Sapa welcomes a diverse range of visitors, attracted by the highland tribes, iconic rice paddies and forest treks. The whole area is blessed with awe-inspiring natural beauty. 

TOP DESTINATIONS OF THE TOUR

● CAT CAT VILLAGE

Cat Cat Village is situated in San Sa Ho Commune, Sapa District, Lao Cai Province. To reach this picturesque village, simply follow the road towards Fansipan Mountain for approximately 3 kilometers from the center of Sapa Town. Compared to other villages like Ta Van and Ta Phin, Cat Cat is closer to Sapa, making it easily accessible and a popular stop for visitors during their Sapa trip.

The name "Cat Cat" was given by the French who discovered the beauty of this place in the early 20th century and chose it as a vacation spot for high-ranking officials. The French named the village after a beautiful waterfall in the area, Catcat.

Perched at the foot of Hoang Lien Son Mountain, Cat Cat Village is protected by nature's embrace. Green fields and hills cover the entire village, and small houses are scattered throughout. Together, they create a colorful and romantic painting of nature.
