Cat Cat village

Cat Cat hamlet of San Sa Ho commune is located at the foot of the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, approximately 3 kilometers from the heart of Sapa town. Cat Cat is mostly populated by the Mong people, who emerged in the mid-nineteenth century. The Mong people here construct three-room houses against the slope, with three horizontal column trusses built on round or square stone slabs, the roof covered with Pomu wood boards, and the walls constructed of sawn wood. The home has three doors: the main entrance in the center and two side doors at either end.

Tả Phìn Ancient Monastery

The ancient Ta Phin Ancient Monastery is located 12 kilometers east of Sapa in beautiful highland scenery. The building was erected in 1942 to accommodate a group of 12 French Catholic nuns who lived a quiet, peaceful life. Explore a quiet country path bordered with lush greenery to find the buildings they left behind. Local stone was used as the major building material in many early Sapa buildings. Walls, arched windows, and robust roofing with intricate stonework have resisted ages of mountain weathering. Wander grounds are now covered with moss and greenery, bringing visitors to another era.
