In the 60s and 70s of the last century, when not damming the river to build Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, Sung village used to be the highest point of Da Bac district with people living there. Mr. Khuong Manh Thu, the secretary of the commune’s Party Committee says that Sung village still preserves the intact traditional cultural identity of Dao ethnic people for hundreds of years.
This cultural identity is not only preserved, but it is also being promoted in a positive and effective way in building a new cultural life. To promote this advantage, the commune has also developed and issued the Resolution No. 02/NQ-DU on "The development of the community tourism in Sung village". Up till now, it has been considered as a breakthrough step, contributing to improving people's lives there.
Currently, there are 75 houses with 364 people in the whole village. In particular, some households do "homestay" travel services such as the families of Ly Van Thu, Dang Van Xuan, Dang Van Nhat and so on. However, you can come and stay at anyone's house. You are also welcomed with sincerity and openness anywhere. As we are in the forest so it is very happy to welcome the guest.
Returning to Sung village, tourists can enjoy ancient Camellia Sinensis, the traditional dishes such as sour meat, hilly chicken, Hoang wine, upland rice and so on. These products are made by the people themselves, so they always keep the purity and the sweet. Tourists can also visit and admire the beauty of a picture of a wild mountain forest with the green rice in the terraced fields. After the harvest, these fields are brightly yellow with beautiful flowers of Brassica napus.
Here, the tradition of maintaining forests around the villages and communes has been maintained from the time of the ancestors. As a result of this, there have been hundreds of year-old precious timber trees such as Parashorea chinensis with the diameter of more than 2 meters in the head of the commune or Syzygium aromaticum and Cassia alata trees, which is as big as 1 - 2 hugs of adults ... The whole forest around the village has never been abused for hundreds of years.
