Cat Cat Village Sapa Vietnam (Sept 2009)

Cat Cat Village is 2km from Sapa Townlet, Sapa District north Vietnam. This is an age-old village of H'Mong ethnic group remaining unique customs and practices that are lots in other villages.

Visitors to Cat Cat have an opportunity to admire a lively and colorful picture. HMong women use plants and leaves to dye the brocade fabrics. And then they roll a round and smooth section of wood covered with wax on fabrics to polish them, making their colors durable.

Previously tourists to Cat Cat are most attracted by its unique customs, including the custom of pulling wife. A man can ask his friends to lure a girl he likes to his house and keeps her there in three days. During these days, if the girl agrees to become his wife, a wedding will be held. However, the girl can happily go home after three days if she does not like him. Anyway I think this customs are no more in practise nowaday.
