(HBO) - On the occasion of the Independence Day 2nd September, I with my friends travelled to the beautiful Mong village in Hang Kia commune (Mai Chau). We stayed at the Sung Y Mua’s homestay of Hang Kia village. This is the first time I witnessed the bustling atmosphere of enjoying the Independence Day of the Mong ethnic people, all the houses killed the buffalos, pigs and made many kinds of cakes, etc. Mong ethnic guys and girls dressed in colorful costumes to the market.
