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 peaceful lifestyle and beauty of the Hmông ethnic community.

At the beginning of the year, Lồng village was recognized as a community-based cultural tourism village. This served as motivation for residents to transform mindsets, opening additional dining, homestay accommodation, and cultural and daily-life experience services. The people of Lồng village utilize their very culture, natural scenery, and highland hospitality to create tourism products serving visitors.

One of the experiences favored by many visitors upon arriving in Lồng village is discovering traditional brocade weaving and embroidery. Vibrant, colorful patterns carry deep ethnic cultural imprints. Every stitch and thread is executed by hand, with each colorful motif showcasing the dexterity, patience, and experience nurtured and passed down from generation to generation.

The harmony between natural landscapes, traditional crafts, cuisine, and the simple daily rhythm of the Hmông ethnic people creates a distinct appeal for Lồng village. Coming to Lồng village, visitors experience intertwined activities, ensuring their journey of discovery goes beyond sightseeing to offer an opportunity to feel the cultural depth and rhythm of highland life.
