Lồng village peaceful amidst vast mountains and forests

ĐBP - Enfolded by mountains and forests, Lồng village in Quài Tở commune emerges within a peaceful setting. Traditional low-roofed houses lie hidden and shimmering through the early morning fog. This is home to the Hmông ethnic people, featuring many unique cultural traits.

The winding road to the village passes beneath a mountain pass, opening upward to a majestic landscape of vast coffee and macadamia hills alongside white cloud ribbons draped across mountain slopes.

Before reaching the village center, visitors pass Lồng village Waterfall, located over 100 meters from the main road for convenient exploration. Cool, clear streams weave beneath forest canopies, cascading down dark black rock tiers into white foam. The sound of cascading water merges with birdsong in the crisp air, creating a scene both majestic and poetic.

In the early morning, kitchen smoke drifts from homes nestled against mountain slopes, as rooster crows blend with familiar sounds of daily labor echoing across the village. On the verandas, grandmothers and women diligently grind corn from early morning, their steady, deliberate rhythms reflecting the very pace of peaceful life here.

The highlight of Lồng village lies in cultural experiences rich in Hmông ethnic identity. Visitors can tour traditional houses, learn about customs, practices, and community life, and savor characteristic local dishes. These activities take place within the villagers’ everyday cultural space, creating a rustic and intimate feel.

The people of Lồng village utilize their very culture, natural scenery, and highland hospitality to create tourism products serving visitors.
