Among them, for those who love the beauty of the mountainous region, enjoy photography, exploring , and experiencing the life of the Thai ethnic minority, Peo village in Yen Thang commune is a fresh and attractive choice.

Here, visitors can also participate in border markets, meeting residents of the Phon Xay cluster of villages in Sam To district, Laos, and people in the border areas of Lang Chanh district.

Along with promoting the development and renewal of tourism products, Lang Chanh district is focusing on building and promoting its image and positioning its tourism brand. Accordingly, to create a highlight for each tourist area and destination, the district has been gradually investing in building check-in areas associated with the destination's name. In addition, tourism activities are being linked with traditional festivals and unique cultural events to create appeal and a distinct identity for each destination. The most prominent examples currently include the Nang Cat - Thac Ma Hao Community Ecotourism Area associated with the Chi Linh Son Festival; and community tourism in Yen Thang commune associated with the Muong Deng Festival...

In addition, the district has 79 performing arts groups that regularly practice and exchange ideas, creating a unique cultural space for tourists to immerse themselves in and experience the lives of the local people.
