Tran Anh Tuan, a tourist from Hanoi, said that his group of 16 has spent two days and one night in the village. They have a good time there, Tuan said, adding that they enjoy walking on the small road in the village and visiting the green rice fields and cool stream.
Visitors to the village can also learn how local people weave traditional brocade products by hand, practice rice milling, pound rice with water power, and knit household applicants.
They are treated to Muong food including sticky rice, spring rolls with pomelo leaves, free-range chicken, and banana blossom salad. They will be told about ancient Muong land, and listen to the folk songs mingled with the flute sound.
Bui Thi Chieu, a homestay owner in the village, said that in Mo village, there are more than 100 Muong households and they mainly earn their living by farming. The old stilt houses are among the most attractive of the village, as they are associated with the customs and daily life of the locals. Here, people still keep many ancient production tools made from bamboo and wood such as looms, bows, and crossbows to make visitors truly experience local daily life.
Thanks to proper conservation and promotion of its typical features, Mo village is still attractive to visitors.
