The Northwest of Vietnam has long been famous for its impressive and glamorous beauty that can captivate any tourists setting foot on this landscape. Among all the picturesque destinations, there is a charming village on the side of Sapa Town that you should not miss – Cat Cat Village. This village is recommended by those who love trekking, especially in Sapa, as the most striking village in Northwestern Vietnam.
Cat Cat Village was founded in the middle of the 19th century by the local Mong ethnic. In the early 20th century, the French discovered the village and developed it as a vacation resort. The village owns a majestic waterfall whose French name is CatScat. Therefore, the village then was named after the fall (Cat Cat was deviated from CatScat). Cat Cat Village attracts tourists not only by its unspoiled natural beauty but also by the unique cultural features of the Mong people. Besides cultivating rice on the terraced fields, the residents in this village still preserve and develop traditional crafts. Coming to Cat Cat village, you will have a chance to discover the appealing nature, the unique culture and many mouth-watering specialties of this destination.

A breathtaking experience awaits at the top of Mt. Fansipan, the highest peak in Vietnam. It used to take travellers two days of hard trekking to reach the summit. Now, you can reach the ‘Roof of Indochina’ in just 15 minutes. Jaw-dropping views of swirling clouds and forested slopes from the top of Fansipan make this adventure a must-do on any Sapa itinerary. Here are five things to look forward to on your Fansipan excursion.
Start your adventure by heading to Hoang Lien Station next to the MGallery Hotel de la Coupole to purchase your tickets for the Muong Hoa Mountain Train. Sit back for the five-minute ride over the valley, taking in spectacular vistas of farms and hamlets below. This funicular railway is the longest of its kind in Vietnam and crosses two tunnels and four viaducts. When the train stops, you’ll be greeted by a field of sunflowers at the Sun World Fansipan Legend Yard.
The Sun World Fansipan cable cars holds a Guinness World Record and the ride to the summit is a highlight of many travellers’ time in Sapa. The cable cars run from 7:30am to 5:30pm every day, and each one can hold up to 35 passengers. Once you leave the station, you’ll immediately start to float high above the rice terraces and rocky cliffs below. Huge windows let you take in the sights all around, as you ascend gradually to this towering tip above the clouds.
Before reaching the summit of Mt. Fansipan, you’ll arrive at a peaceful garden complex, with stone paths, ancient Azalea trees and 18 skillfully sculpted bronze statues. These sculptures lead the way to a 20-metre celestial Buddha statue perched on the mountainside -- the largest in the country. The gardens and pagodas all around provide a tranquil setting to pause and breathe in the fresh air.
A series of stairs or a funicular rail will take you the final leg to the top of Mt. Fansipan. From here, you’ll have the rewarding, unbelievable sight of cloud-covered peaks stretching all the way to the horizon. The highest point is a favourite spot for selfies, but you can walk the entire platform for 360-degree vistas. The cloud formations at the top of Mt. Fansipan change every few seconds, revealing new shapes and scenes as the earth meets the sky.
If you are traveling on a budget or just want to explore Sapa on foot, you can easily walk to Sapa Cable Car Station. There are many signs along the way so you shouldn't get lost.
You can start walking from the town center, around the Stone Church, get to Thac Bac Crossroad, then turn left onto Nguyen Chi Thanh Street and walk directly to Fansipan Legend for around 1.7 km.

Sapa Glass Bridge has become a hot destination for any tourists doing trips to Sapa. It has only been in operation in recent years, but the bridge welcomes tens of thousands of visitors every month. It is also an impressive check-in location with many adventurous games. Moreover, visitors can enjoy the feeling of walking on clouds and getting lost in the scenery of a fairyland.
Rong May Glass Bridge, which is translated into English : Rong - Dragon, May - Cloud leading to its English name Cloud Dragon Glass Bridge It was put into operation in November 2019 and is more than 2,000 meters above sea level. It is currently the highest glass bridge in Vietnam.Although tourists have heard of Bach Long glass bridge in Moc Chau, Son La, the one in Sapa is even more magnificent and modern. The bridge spans the O Quy Ho Pass and hugs the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, extending outwards up to 60 meters with a total length of 300 meters in a circular shape with 4 walkways spreading out in 4 directions, ensuring the sturdiness and solidity of the bridge.
The tempered glass floor of the bridge is designed with 3 layers, with a total thickness of 7cm and bonded with materials that can withstand high weight. The walkway is spacious and the length of the bridge is up to 50 meters.
To visit the bridge, you can choose to walk or take the elevator. However, I suggest you take the elevator because it saves time and gives you the feeling of floating on air. In just over a minute, you can reach the top of the mountain wall while enjoying the scenery outside through the entire glass elevator.
- Zipline on the glass bridge -
This is a thrilling game when you travel to Sapa, including a long cable connecting two points. With this game, you must wear protective gear and then slide down from the top of the mountain.
From here, you will feel like crossing the forest and can see the whole picture of the Northwest mountains. In beautiful sunny weather, the image of the Northwest mountains seems to be within your reach.
To reach the Rong May Sapa Glass Bridge, visitors must first travel to Sapa, a town located in Lao Cai Province. The easiest way to get to Sapa is by train or bus from Hanoi, which takes around 8-10 hours depending on the mode of transport. Once in Sapa, visitors can hire a motorbike or take a taxi to the bridge, which is located about 18km from the town center.
Other route from Hanoi, you can take National Highway 6 towards Hoa Binh, Son La, Dien Bien and then on NR4D to the Rong May Glass Bridge area. Although this route is quite long and winding, it is a favorite of many backpackers.

Ham Rong Mountain is located about 3 kilometers away from the center of Sapa town. From Sapa, if you go towards Sapa Stone Church, you will see the road to Ham Rong Mountain right behind the church. As the distance is not too far, you can even choose to walk to the mountain if you are in good health.
According to a legend, there were two dragons playing with each other when a fierce flood came. One dragon flew up to the sky while the other was trapped on earth and turned to stone, looking towards its companion that had flown away. It then became Ham Rong Mountain.
Another legend says that once upon a time, there were three dragon brothers. At the beginning of the world, all living creatures lived together in chaos, so the Jade Emperor ordered each animal species to establish its own territory.
The three dragon brothers were slow to take any territory, and there was not much land left. They rushed to get the land they saw, but the youngest dragon couldn't catch up with his older brothers. He got lost between other beasts, got frightened, and opened his mouth as a way to defend himself. The two older brothers went back to rescue the young dragon.
