HA NOI-SAPA-CAT CAT-HAM RONG-BAC HA MARKET

Sapa is always an impressive destination in the list of Vietnamese and foreign tourists and it would be missing if we forgot Ham Rong mountain and Cat Cat Village when coming to this wonderful foggy town

Ham Rong Mountain is located in the center of Sapa town, near the stone church, with an altitude of 1800m, the average temperature of the mountain is from 15 to 18 degrees. This mountain is called Ham Rong (means Dragon teeth) because it looks like a dragon hanging up its tail to the Heaven’s Gate, and if you look closely, you will see a giant “dragon teeth” toward the southwest of Hoang Lien Son peak between the misty nature.

About 2km from center, Cat Cat village is a well-known destination for all visitors to Sapa. This village is an ideal ecotourism area, convenient for traveling, watching the Hoang Lien Son mountain range among thousands of mountains and clouds will bring extreme feelings for those who love nature and love Vietnamese people.
