(HBO) - On the occasion of the Independence Day 2nd September, I with my friends travelled to the beautiful Mong village in Hang Kia commune (Mai Chau). We stayed at the Sung Y Mua’s homestay of Hang Kia village. This is the first time I witnessed the bustling atmosphere of enjoying the Independence Day of the Mong ethnic people, all the houses killed the buffalos, pigs and made many kinds of cakes, etc. Mong ethnic guys and girls dressed in colorful costumes to the market.

the forest. The rooftops of stilt houses, the flowing streams are all simple
and rustic; creating the unique character of the community- based tourism
villages. The culture and customs of the Dao, Muong, Thai and Mong ethnic
people have become an attraction to tourists. Whoever comes once will want to
come back more. Tourists would have a chance to have meals, stay with and work
with the local people. These unforgettable experiences help indigenous people
and tourists to be close together. People seem to join together to share
culture and customs to better understand the cultural value of the ancient
ethnic minorities. At present, there are 150 homestay households in Da Bac, Cao
Phong, Tan Lac, Lac Son, Yen Thuy and Mai Chau districts. These are the famous
