This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.

Accounting for over 63% of the province's population, they have created and preserved numerous distinctive cultural values, contributing to their unique identity.
