A community-based tourism site in Mo village, Binh Thanh commune (Cao Phong district) attracts visitors with traditional cultural values.

Ancient Muong stilt houses in Mo village of Binh Thanh commune hold an appeal to tourists, especially foreigners. The destination promises enjoyable experience in the life of local people, traditional customs, festivals and production activities. Ancient architectural traits remain intact in stilt houses located in Thach Yen, Hop Phong, Tien and Thung Nai communes.

Muong Thang hosts various annual traditional festivals, namely a festival to open Bo shrine in Thung Nai commune and one in Khanh pagoda in Thach Yen commune. Of note, it has revived the Khai mua (season start) Muong Thang festival in Dung Phong commune since 2018.

At some points in the past, traditional cultural traits faced the risk of falling into oblivion. Local officials and people over the years have made efforts in cultural conservation and development. The district has conserved about 1,600 Muong gongs, including 400 ancient ones.

Via communication activities, all residents have now engaged in cultural conservation work. The district opened classes teaching Muong folk songs and gong performance for the youths. The Mo Muong Thang club was recently launched with the participation of 35 artisans and people who love of the art.

Pham Ngoc Nhat, head of the culture-information office of the district, said cultural conservation and development contribute to tourism development and promoting the image of friendly Muong Thang people.
