Ngoi village has nearly 90 households with more than 300 people. Most of the locals maintain their traditional ancient stilt houses. As an ancient Muong village, Ngoi village was previously called Bua Dam, which means an even place on a high mountain, where has various big trees or fresh shade.

Stilt houses were built on even land lots scattered in the village, peacefully lying under high trees. The houses face the reservoir in the front side and turn their backs to maize fields or forests. Therefore, the weather is comfortable in all four seasons. The village has a number of wonderful waterfalls and caves, including some famous locations like Ngoi Hoa and Quai Am caves and newly-discovered Bua Dam cave. Especially, the village is where local people unearthed a Lung Cu bronze drum in 1993. The village is called "Ha Long Bay on mountain” and is a major part of the Hoa Binh lake national tourism site development plan.

With the pristine natural beauty and unique cultural characteristics of the Muong ethnic community, Ngoi village has become a popular destination, attracting many tourists. When travelling to the village, visitors can mix with nature, experience local people’s daily activities and explore cultural life of Muong people with the sound of gongs, singing voices, Mo Muong songs and market-days in rural areas. Besides, Ngoi village has become a highlight in the travel route from several locations near Hoa Binh lake to Thac Bo cave and Ba Khan lake or farther destinations like Hoa Binh City and other districts of Cao Phong, Tan Lac, Da Bac and Mai Chau.

In addition to tourism activities such as cave exploring and homestay services, Ngoi village was also assisted to purchase high-speed boats, inflatable water-bikes and kayaks for services in the lake. Recently, an inflatable water park was inaugurated with more than 30 games using floats and underwater sports like water motorcycle, inflatable boat, fishing on canoe, along with floating swimming pools as well as traditional sports like boat racing and eating at floating restaurants. The water park has brought a special feature for community-based tourism in Ngoi village with various types of modern products, but still maintained and enhanced cultural identity for sustainable tourism development as an attractive destination for domestic and international visitors./.
