Attractive journey connecting tourism to explore Muong culture

Tourists visit and experience activities at the community tourism site of Mo hamlet, Binh Thanh commune (Cao Phong).

The Muong Cultural Space Museum is one of two private museums in the province that preserve indigenous cultural values. The destination attracts visitors with unique cultural stories, immersing them in the living space of ancient Vietnamese people, recreating the ancient Muong social life and an exhibition area with over 3,000 artifacts showing the lifestyle, customs, socio -economics, and unique culture of the Muong people. In addition, visitors can also visit the art museum with thousands of paintings, ceramics, sculptures, etc. created by artists, inspired by the Muong cultural identity, with the desire to introduce this unique culture to domestic and international friends.

Currently, the Muong Cultural Space Museum has developed additional accompanying products and services, such as restaurants and community accommodation. Many other activities provided by the destination also bring memorable experiences such as: pounding rice, weaving, spinning, festivals and some folk games imbued with the spiritual culture of the Muong people.

Leaving the Muong Cultural Space Museum, visitors visit the Monument of Hero Cu Chinh Lan in Mo Hamlet, Binh Thanh Commune. The people of Mo Hamlet are always proud of their homeland, where fierce battles took place between us and the enemy during the resistance war against French colonialism, and where the heroic tank-destroying feat of Hero Cu Chinh Lan was associated. The monument is also a placeto educate the younger generation about traditions. Next, visitors have another interesting experience, which is visiting and experiencing Mo Hamlet - a community tourism destination with unique cultural features of the Muong people.

Ms. Nguyen Mai Tam, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: I have visited the community tourism site of Xom Mo before, but my stay was not long. This time, the experience program was extended. After the tour guide took us to visit the Muong Cultural Space Museum in the morning, we took a lunch break at Xom Mo so that in the afternoon we could freely explore the natural scenery and learn about the daily life of the local people. We also visited the Cu Chinh Lan Hero Monument, listened to the introduction of heroic memories and participated in many activities with the friendly Muong people. My memorable experience of the destination was the feeling of relaxation, enjoying a night's stay in a stilt house and waking up every morning to see the terraced fields and welcome the sunrise.

According to Ms. Tran Thi Tu Anh, Director of Vietbiztour Company Limited (Hanoi), in 2023 - 2024, she and representatives of a number of businesses and travel companies in Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa provinces... participated in the survey team, experiencing new and attractive destinations and tourism products of Hoa Binh. Realizing that tourism products at the destinations are still quite monotonous and lack of connection, the units actively participated in giving feedback to the destinations, at the same time coming up with ideas and designing tour programs for guests, helping to provide a richer chain of experience products, as well as attracting more visitors to Hoa Binh tourism. Located on Tay Tien road and part of Hoa Binh lake tourist area, the Muong cultural space museum tour - Mo hamlet community tourism and some eco-resort tourist destinations such as: Ora Hill Farmstay & Glamping, Halo Retreat, Shoshin Binh Thanh, after surveying and building, have attracted many tourists' interest and response, creating an impression for the journey connecting the attractive Muong cultural experience tourist destinations.
