Cát Cát waterfall, Mountain waterfall in Sa Pa, Vietnam

The water flows down multiple stone levels through dense vegetation, creating a cascading effect that extends several meters in height.

French colonists discovered this waterfall in the early 1900s and named it CatScat, which later evolved into the current name Cát Cát.

The Black Hmong people maintain their traditional practices near the waterfall, including silver carving, weaving, and agricultural activities using water-powered wheels.

Visitors can reach the waterfall through a 2-kilometer path from Sa Pa town, with several observation points offering different perspectives of the cascade.

Large bamboo water wheels placed along the stream generate power for rice processing while demonstrating local engineering methods.
