There, there are always &#8220;highlights&#8221; that attract many domestic and foreign tourists when going to the rocky highlands of Meo Vac.</p>
<p> Pa Vi Ha Community Cultural Tourism Village 100% of the people in the village are Mong people. In addition, what attracts visitors is that the culture of the Mong people here is still preserved from house architecture, cuisine, costumes to traditional folklore&#8230; <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_05_240_38734672/2bc99a45b90750590916.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> Hmong community tourist area in Meo Vac </em> In the cultural village, there is also a cultural house of Meo Vac district, which is considered as a conservation and promotion area for Mong ethnic culture. Visitors here can learn more about the cultural traditions of the Mong people. Even many Hmong tourists from other localities also come to enjoy and better understand the traditional culture of their people. In this village, there are 28 households participating in infrastructure investment and putting into use houses according to the model of Mong ethnic group with architectural design of wooden frame houses, walls and roofs with 2-storey yin and yang tiles. The houses built according to the traditional Hmong house architecture are adjacent to each other and most develop the Homestay service, serving tourists to visit and experience. Room rental rates vary depending on location. Community room ranges from 150 to 200,000 VND/person per night. Single room is about 400 &#8211; 550 thousand VND/night depending on the time. In addition, visitors coming here can also enjoy the traditional dishes of the Mong people cooked at the Homestay itself. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_05_05_240_38734672/3e0f8683a5c14c9f15d0.jpg" width="625" height="468"> <em> The entrance to Pa Vi Ha community tourist area.</em> The climate here is very specific and unique. The average annual temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius with a winter lasting up to 8-9 months and there seems to be no hot season. Especially, from December of last year to February of the following year is the coldest time of the year, the lowest temperature can drop below 0 degrees Celsius. The winter is so cold, but the summer is short, only 2-3 months with an average of 19 &#8211; 23 degrees Celsius. The weather conditions in the H&#8217;Mong ethnic minority culture and tourism village, Pa Vi Ha village make us feel connected. Think about the small Da Lat in Ha Giang. Ms. Thu Hong, a tourist from Hanoi, shared that she often follows the Ha Giang tourism community and has heard a lot of compliments about the community-based cultural and tourism village at the foot of Ma Pi Leng pass. Ms. Hong came here and had the opportunity to experience: &#8220;I really feel lost in stories and movies that I&#8217;ve seen. The architecture of the house is decorated with yin and yang tiles, creating a cool, very cool atmosphere. easy to sleep, suitable for those who want to relax. The dishes are also very strange such as thang co, meat hanging in the kitchen &#8230; attractive to tourists.&#8221; In particular, Ms. Hong is very fond of the dances of spreading flowers and the sound of the H&#8217;mong boys. Anh Quang &#8211; owner of a Homestay shared: when the district party committee had a policy to develop community tourism, he signed up to participate immediately, contributing to the economic development of the locality. Initially, it was estimated that the construction cost would be about 700 million VND, supported by loans. However, during the construction process, Mr. Quang was also capitalized, the total investment cost was more than 2 billion VND. In the early days of construction, it was very difficult, sometimes he wanted to give up, but thinking about the long-term, he had to &#8220;stab and follow&#8221;. After that, when he completed the homestay and started to have tenants, he was temporarily relieved. However, the operation time was not long before it was caught in the epidemic, so business was also difficult. If there were foreign tourists in the past, now Quang only welcomes domestic tourists. On average, weekends are usually full and there are customers who order food at the restaurant. Mr. Quang said that in order to ensure that according to the motto &#8220;please come, please go&#8221;, my family and other households in the village always adhere to the standards of friendliness, price transparency, and hygiene. environment in the stages of dining and experience…</p>

<span id="more-9590"></span> Vuong family residence is located in the middle of Sa Phin valley, Dong Van district, 130 km north of Ha Giang city, on a high floating block like a turtle&#8217;s shell, symbolizing Kim Quy, surrounded by a mountain arc shape, creating a great defensive terrain. This terrain is called the tortoise shell, this is the reason that after hundreds of years of age, with so many ups and downs and changes, the Vuong family&#8217;s residence is still intact.</p>
<p> This is the work with the most unique architecture of Ha Giang province, ranked by the State as a national architectural monument. This has made many tourists curious and determined once to come to Ha Giang to explore. <img fifu-featured="1" decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/3ba2378909cae094b9db.jpg" width="625" height="415"> &#8220;The King&#8217;s House&#8221;, the name Ha Giang people still used to call Vuong Chi Sinh mansion area Entering the mansion, the first impression is the tall, straight rows of sandwood trees that are hundreds of years old.

The wooden gate roof is exquisitely carved, with many patterns. The palace is nearly 100 years old, King Meo has hired many excellent Chinese and Mongolian craftsmen and thousands of workers, built the mansion day and night and built within 8 years to complete, the total area is up Up to 1,120 square meters, the owner of the house had to spend 15,000 dong Dong Duong white silver to build, equivalent to 150 billion Vietnamese Dong at that time. The mansion architecture simulates the citadel architecture of Qing China, combined with Mongolian patterns and selected with French architecture such as fireplaces, bunkers &#8230; <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/22a43f8f01cce892b1dd.jpg" width="625" height="416"> The Vuong Dynasty is the residence and fortress of the Vuong family, the Mong ethnic group in Dong Van district. The palace has 3 palaces, middle and queen, with 64 rooms, large and small, can accommodate about 100 people. Between the rows of closed 2-storey bungalows is a large, light courtyard. Surrounding the house is a garden with many types of trees: safflower, cinnamon, peach, pear, flowers &#8230; The unique feature of the mansion lies in the structure and layout of the rooms. The mansion is like a solid fortress, with thick walls, built of green stone, terracotta tiles and wooden furniture in the rows of stone pine. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/fbdbeef0d0b339ed60a2.jpg" width="625" height="416"> The owner of the house is Mr. Vuong Chinh Duc (1865 &#8211; 1947). More than a century ago, with the profession of growing and trading opium, the Vuong family dominated the entire vast highlands and was called the Meo King by local people. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/bf15853ebb7d52230b6c.jpg" width="625" height="416"> The opium warehouse in the Meo King mansion. The palace has 2 basements for defense, with a storage of assets, an arsenal, opium warehouse, and the layout of the rooms is like a miniature citadel. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/ad788353bd10544e0d01.jpg" width="625" height="416"> The house was built of eternal green stone, very hard rocky mountain pine and was very resistant to termites. Tile green gray yin and yang can resist heavy hail <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/b361994aa7094e571718.jpg" width="625" height="416"> The &#8220;cat&#8221; symbol is engraved on the stone column. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/bc7c9957a7144e4a1705.jpg" width="625" height="416"> At the time of building the mansion, there were no tools to help, the roads were extremely dangerous. Therefore, the mansion is completely handcrafted by the Mong people. All stone materials are carved by the local people by hand and then transported from 7 km away to build houses. Another highlight of the palace is the sculpture art in parts of the house, bearing the imprint of the royal family, the mark of opium trade. Many stone details of the building are elaborately carved, cleverly bearing symbols for wealth and prosperity. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/d6abf780c9c3209d79d2.jpg" width="625" height="416"> Many stone details of the building are elaborately carved, cleverly bearing the symbols of wealth, longevity, prosperity. <img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="lazy-img" src="https://photo-baomoi.zadn.vn/w700_r1/2021_04_27_347_38650272/9b46a46d9a2e73702a3f.jpg" width="625" height="416"> This residence is recognized by the State as a National Monument in 1993. All wood of the previous house is made from stone pine. Since it became the property of the State, the wood materials of the house have been altered about 60% by ironwood and crushed wood. The pillars are carved into the shape of a large jar-like poppy stalk, which resembles every detail, and is polished in white silver. The stair piers are also precious stone sculptures, bearing the silhouette of poppy flowers. The eye-catching, opium-shaped motifs on the rafters, left houses, doors and windows.</p>
