The gate house is deeply Muong village
architecture, the campus full of flowers is a highlighted attraction to
visitors to Muong Ai village, Phong Phu commune (Tan Lac).
However, besides the
good first impressions about Muong ancient village, tourists also have a lot of
anxiety when traveling in Ai village. Athanael, a visitor from Marseille
(France) said that: In addition to keeping and preserving traditional cultural
values, visitors have some certain requirements for environmental landscapes
and supporting factors. When I visited Muong Ai village before, it still missed
those important factors. In particular, rural sanitation is a matter of
concern. Besides two standardized homestay accommodations, visitors couldn’t find
another place to eat and stay which met all of their accommodation requirements.
This also explained the reason why Muong Ai village before was very rare for
guests to stay and take a rest. Most of the visitors found it inconvenient and
unsatisfactory with the lack of accommodation, especially while staying there.
In order to make a change,
indiscriminately waste dispose has been improved much. Most of the households
have moved the cattle cages far from their habitats. Some households paid
attention to invest and renovate hygienic toilets. After a short time, from October
2017 to March 2018, with the mobilization of community activities, the environment
and landscapes in Muong Ai village have changed positively. The houses of the
households are cleaned up to be always clean and tidy. Every house has gates,
fences, especially all the gates are made from imperata cylindrica, bamboo, and
leaves available towards the prototype of the house gate of the Muong people
from the ancient times. Another impression is that along the main road of the village
into each house is covered with a lot of flowers just after a few months of
effort. According to Mrs. Dinh Thi Dun, the head of the Women's Union of Ai
village, this is the idea of the women in the village to create the alleys
and roads more beautiful, colorful and fresher.
Ms. Chu Thi Mai Lan,
a visitor from Hanoi Capital remarked: "I am impressed with what I have
experienced in Muong Ai village on my recent visit. I was more attracted by the
beautiful landscape created by the families together. It is extremely
interesting and pleasant to walk around the village, each house has a bamboo
gate, flower campus, bonsai, the road is stretched with grass flowers.
