Many visitors choose Van Hien homestay to experience a night in a stilt house as part of a tour exploring Ngoi village, Suoi Hoa commune (Tan Lac).
This community tourist site attracts tourists firstly for the charming natural landscape. Coming here, visitors can enjoy the beauty of Ngoi Hoa bay, explore Hoa Tien cave, and discover the beauty of this Muong ethnic village, where 100 percent of the houses retain the traditional architecture of Muong stilt house. Locals also preserve many ethnic customs and practices.
In recent years, a tourism business has discovered the hidden beauty of Ngoi village and invested in the area, creating a destination that has unique cultural values and unique experiences. Vu Anh Ngoc, Deputy Director of Hoa Binh Tourism joint Stock Company said in addition to discovering village life and exploring nature, visitors will be provided with better and more professional services in accommodation.
Here, visitors have the opportunity to participate in the daily life and cultural activities with the locals such as fishing, making local delicacies, weaving baskets to catch fish. They can join in trekking, cave exploration, water motor games, kayaking or just sitting on a boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery on Ngoi Hoa Bay.

The village will develop tourism in association with the preservation of the local cultural identity and protection of the ecological environment. The province has approved investment policies of four companies for Ngoi village. Hopefully in the near future, tourism projects will open up more opportunities for the locality to more effectively exploit the potential and strengths of the area./.
Hoa Binh province’s rich natural and cultural resources position it as a prime location for developing community-based tourism (CBT).
