- Visited Cat Cat Village in Sapa with Dinh the super friendly H'mong guide and I had a truly memorable time especially with Dinh's guidance and local insights.
The visit started with Dinh arriving early at my hotel to meet up with me. We left the hotel and Dinh suggested we walked to Cat Cat Village and once we are done, grab a bike back to the hotel and that turned out to be the best decision as the walk down hill towards Cat Cat Village entrance was not only breathtaking but I truly enjoyed our conversation along the way.
Do consider getting in touch with Dinh below if you are visiting Sapa via her Airbnb listing. You can discuss with her different guided tour similar to what I did:

Cat Cat Village itself was although touristy, she provided me with a glimpse of H'mong tribe life with their rich culture and unique heritage. Once thing I regret was not taking time to sample some of their food on offer along the way which was my fault since I wanted to get to the iconic waterfall and water wheels area.
This visit was made very memorable not only for the natural beauty of Cat Cat Village but also Dinh for her bubbly personality and warm heart to share the best of the H'mong people and her personal story with me.
A visit to Cat Cat Village is definitely a must in my books for anyone visiting Sapa, Vietnam.

Nice video. It gives a clear picture of Cat Cat Village. Am going there in October so itβs really helpful.
Most welcome Lim. I'm sure you will enjoy your time there but do wear comfortable walking shoes. Have fun!
Wow i really enjoy your video β€. Planning to go to Sapa also next year during CNY
Thank you so much for those kind words and support. I've been wanting to visit Sapa for years and years and so glad I finally got to do it. I only wished I stayed 1 extra night... oh well.
You found the perfect tour guide. She didn't take advantage of you. I'm Hmong also and she's very knowledgeable of our culture at such a young age. I could tell, she's a very capable Hmong woman. Me, I've been brainwashed by the Americans : ). Traditionally, she makes the perfect Hmong wife. Her husband is very lucky. Thanks for an excellent video. I enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing and yes she was indeed a great guide and more importantly, great person too. Would you mind elaborating what you meant by 'brainwashed by American' and how it affect your preferences?
@@WanderEats Brainwashed just my saying of having lost some cultural values and being Americanized. Not meant to be negative.
@@tsuvtom7668 oh I know it wasn't... just curious how it affected your choices that's all. Anyways thanks once again for sharing!
Nice village tour.
Yes it was indeed. Thanks for the support!
Please give me information about your tourguide i want to contact her. Thank you!

Hi there Oliver. Thanks for dropping by the channel and for your questions. The electric vehicle costs VND 20,000 (USD 0.80) per person and the bike into town was VND 50,000 (USD 2.00) per person. Safe travels to Sapa and have a memorable time there my friend!
@@WanderEats thanks for answer me .. its cheap π€π€
@@oliverchannel1558 oh yeah its quite affordable for a 'tourist' destination. I am very sure Sapa will grow on you during your stay. Have a great time once again!
2016-2017 we went to Cat Cat village for free π, Things changed
Wow really? Commercialism took over I guess but if it does provide opportunities for the local H'mong people, I guess it's a good thing.
I think they should not charge the entry fee, instead of that they should improve the services inside the village so tourists will feel more reasonable when spending money
Thanks for your sharing Jamie. I actually don't mind paying an entry fee but perhaps much cheaper while as you said, provide better facilities and attractions for me to spend more in the village to support the locals which I would love to do so.
How's the overall trip to Sapa?
Very memorable but rushed. Wish I stayed 1 more night to truly enjoy Sapa.
Can we cover sapa in 2 days?
Yes you could via the main attractions like what I did because I technically had only 30 hours in Sapa. An extra day I would have gone for a night stay at the H'mong village.
