Please DO NOT bring candies to the children, you may be thinking it is a nice gesture but you are hurting them more than doing good (they can NOT
afford a dentist) you can instead offer them balloons, pencils, notebook and others useful things you may be thinking of.
Traditional houses of Hmong people in Cat Cat have three rooms with three doors and covered with po mu wood roof. In each house there are three columns
that stand in round or square stones. With inlaid floor containing food, places for sleeping, a kitchen and a place for receiving guests are indispensable parts of the houses.
The walls are made from sawn timber. The main door is always closed and only opens when people in the house organize important events.
Cat Cat village is home of Black Hmong ethnic minorities.
Hmong women use plants and leaves to dye their 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. In addition to the brocade weaving craft, many residents in Cat Cat are good at manipulating gold and silver jewelry. Their products are fairly sophisticated,
especially jewelry for women. Depending on the season, visitors to Cat Cat have an opportunity to admire a lively and colorful group of women sitting by looms with colorful pieces
of brocade decorated with designs of flowers and birds. When these pieces of brocade are finished, they are dyed and embroidered with beautiful designs.
Cat Cat villagers are used to visitors and will better interact with you if you stop and take the time to make acquaintance. Ask them before taking a picture and you will have better results.
