A working team from the Hoa Binh Party Committee led by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, inspected the preservation and promotion of the cultural values of the Muong culture and the making of planning for a reservation space for the Muong culture in Phong Phu commune of Tan Lac district on March 6.

Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh Party Committee and the working team, inspect the design of planning for the Muong culture preservation space at Luy Ai village, Phong Phu commune of Tan Lac district.

In order to preserve and promote the cultural identity of the Muong ethnic minority community in the district, Tan Lac has issued many resolutions, plans and projects aiming to enhance the awareness of local officials, Party members and the community in the work.

Along with maintaining the values of traditional houses, costumes and traditional practices of Muong people, the locality has paid great attention to traditional Muong festivals such as Khai ha festival, Ke Pagoda festival, and fishing festival.

However, the efforts have faced many difficulties, including the inefficient use of resources in some projects and shortcomings in optimising mechanisms and policies as well as cultural heritages for tourism development.

The district has asked for support from the province in building the Muong cultural space project in Luy Ai commune, as well as support to artisans and practitioners of typical cultural heritages of the Muong community.

Long and the working team visited Ai hamlet in Phong Phu district, in which cultural values and living spaces of the Muong people are being maintained.

 

In 2008, Ai hamlet was recognised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism as a typical traditional village of ethnic minority groups and a village representing the Muong group. In 2027, as part of a project to pilot the merging and completion of residential areas of Hoa Binh, Ai and Luy villages were merged into Luy Ai village with more than 200 households and 930 people, 97% of whom are from Muong ethnic minority group.

The former Ai village is home to 19 out of the 34 traditional tilt houses, becoming a community-based tourism site.

The Muong culture preservation space is designed on 125 hectares with a tourism service centre, hotels, farms, festival spaces, homestays, resorts, residential areas, and nature exploring areas.

Long lauded the efforts of the Party Committee, administration, and people of Tan Lac and relevant agencies in protecting and promoting traditional values of Muong people.

He asked Tan Lac to coordinate closely with departments, sectors and agencies to ensure the quality and long-term vision of the planning, with special attention to maintaining the traditional culture of the Muong people and preserving the landscape, architecture, customs, lifestyle, and cultural heritage of the community in the former Ai hamlet, and expanding tourism spaces. Alongside, the locality should design policies to mobilise resources for the construction of infrastructure system and sustainable exploitation of values of the Muong culture for sustainable tourism development and improving locals’ livelihood, he stressed.
