Hang Kia mountainous commune of Mai Chau district has made concerted efforts to overcome challenges to give a facelift to its rural landscape and improve local livelihoods.


Hang Kia commune stands as a picturesque cloud-hunting destination, having attracted a huge crowd of visitors. 

Regarding agricultural production, the communal People’s Committee has directed communes to select a suitable crop structure and promote livestock and crop restructuring, while paying due attention to controlling diseases by enhancing vaccination for local cattle and poultry, spraying disinfectants, and sanitising livestock shelters.

Located at an altitude of some 1,200 metres, Hang Kia boasts gorgeous landscapes and fresh air, making it a favourite destination among both domestic and foreign visitors. The commune has stepped up the communications work to bring the local cultural traits closer to the public, as well as the management of homestay facilities to improve the quality of tourism services.

It welcomed some 1,000 tourist arrivals and gained more than 600 million VND (over 24,200 USD) in revenue in the first half of this year.

The commune’s new-style rural area building programme has received enthusiastic response from local residents. The locality has built plans, removed bottlenecks, and mobilised capital for infrastructure development.

Per capita income during January –June was recorded at some 16 million VND and the figure is expected to reach 30 million VND by the end of the year.

Furthermore, the commune has engaged the whole political system and people to maintain security and order, with special attention given to the communications work on the prevention of drug and related crimes.

Chairman of the communal People’s Committee Kha A Lau said with a view to accelerating the implementation of the national target programmes on new-style rural area building, sustainable poverty alleviation, and socio-economic development in ethnic minority-inhabited and mountainous areas, local authorities will drastically and flexibly direct the implementation of socio-economic tasks, make preparations for the 2024-2025 winter-spring crop, and enhance investment in tourism to lure more visitors, helping promote local socio-economic development.
