Tourists can reach Ke hamlet, which is located along Hoa Binh lake with 80 Muong households, via waterways and roads. It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the centre of Da Bac town to Hien Luong commune. Tourists can also depart from Bich Ha Port in Hoa Binh city and travel around Hoa Binh lake for an hour before reaching Ke hamlet.

Visitors will cross a grass cover along the lake on the way to Ke hamlet, Hien Luong commune (Da Bac district) by water.

Two families in Ke hamlet, including HuuThao’s and Sanh Thuan’s, offer home-stay services. Three more households will provide the service soon. The local landscape, culture and people have attracted visitors near and far, as reflected through the increasing number of holiday-makers. Apart from international tourists and local students, Ke hamlet also welcomes families. Visitors will have a chance to explore mountains, imposing forests and vast lakes in Ke hamlet, and live with locals.

Home-stay service suppliers and locals will guide tourists on how to discover Ke hamlet. Holiday makers should base on their vacation length to arrange the activities they want to do on their own ways when staying in the locality. They can row, swim in lakes or streams, ride bikes and walk in the jungle, or join locals in harvesting rice, fishing, hunting and weaving. They can also go with locals into the jungle to dig bamboo shoots, which can be boiled, roasted or used to make soup. Fishing and taking a view of the lake during moonlit nights is the enjoyable experience. The lake is rich in shrimp and fish, from African carp to carp, chub, pike, and even trionychid turtle.

Tourists can catch crabs and fish while bathing in Ke Spring. Other local specialties are chicken, grilled and steamed fish and buffalo meat with "lom” leaves.

Those who like adventure tourism can climb Bieu Mount to explore culture of the Dao Da Bac minority group in Sung hamlet, Cao Son commune. When the night falls, holiday-makers gather around the campfire, enjoying Ruou Can (wine drunk out of a jar through pipes) and Ruou Hoang (wine made of forest plant leaves) and dancing.

Rowing the boat to enjoy the beauty of mountains and houses along the river will give tourists peaceful feelings. But holiday-makers should wear life jackets to ensure safety.

After a day of exploring, visitors will take a rest in clean and neat stilt houses looking over the lake and surrounded by orchards. /.
