Lac
hamlet in Chieng Chau commune (Mai Chau) has been given a facelift.
Lac hamlet in Chieng Chau commune, Mai Chau
district, has become a famous community tourism destination. Over the past
years, it has been given a facelift through the national target programme on
new-style rural area building.
"Such changes are attributable to the State’s
investment as well as the determination, consensus and support of local
residents in the new-style rural area building,” said Ha Cong Hong, head of the
hamlet.
At the beginning of the programme, the hamlet had
met only seven out of the 11 criteria.
Aware of the significance of new-style rural area
building, hamlet leading officials have stepped up the communications work,
thus raising the consensus among the villagers.
Local residents have contributed land to expanding
roads and constructing the sewerage system, and upgraded walls around their
houses and gates.
The villagers are delighted at the changes brought
about by the programme over the past two years.
Ha Cong Quyet, a local, said the road to the hamlet
was once small and the sewerage system had not operated well, adding the
upgraded infrastructure has helped the locality better tourism services.
"I have visited Lac hamlet for many times. The
hamlet has a beautiful landscape with traditional stilt houses of the Thai
ethnic minority group,” said Thanh, a tourist from Hanoi. "When I returned to
the hamlet, it has been given a facelift. This is a beautiful, attractive
place.”
According to Hong, in 2019, Lac hamlet’s per capita
income stood at 32 million VND, 1.76 times higher than that in 2015. To raise
the figure, the hamlet has focused on accommodation and catering services,
among others. Therefore, the hamlet’s per capita income increased to 54 million
VND. The hamlet has fulfilled 10 out of the 11 criteria set for a new-style
rural area./.
