The road from Sa Pa winds
through hilly terrain passing
terraced rice paddy fields, where you reach Cat Cat cultural village, just 3km from
Sa Pa town. A leisurely walk through the old village offers you an overview of
the traditional customs and practices of the ethnic Black H’mong people. Stop
by a stunning waterfall and the vestige of a hydroelectric power station, constructed
by the French during the colonial era in Viet Nam.
Follow a dirt trail snaking through the mountain. Enjoy spectacular scenery while trekking
along a narrow stream until you reach Y Linh Ho village also home of the Black H'mong minority. Head
toward Muong Hoa valley. Descending into the valley, you will see the
largest terraced rice fields in the Sa Pa area. (If you visit the valley
between May and October, you have the chance to observe and
experience how the local people plant and harvest
rice). The walk takes you from Lao Chai village of
the Black H'mong minority to Ta Van village of the Giay minority. You will take
a break to enjoy a picnic lunch at a local house before transferring back to Sa Pa.
