Nestled near the northernmost point of Vietnam, Lo Lo Chai Village has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past two years. Through a collaborative effort between the government and local residents, the village has not only preserved its deep-rooted heritage but has also emerged as a designated Cultural and Tourism Village in early 2022.

With its traditional Lo Lo architecture featuring houses with earthen walls and stone fences, the village offers a captivating glimpse into the cultural characteristics of the Lo Lo people. Despite the challenges of preserving this traditional architecture, the community's commitment has resulted in upgraded houses, offering homestay accommodations with modern conveniences.
The village's transition to tourism has not only addressed environmental concerns but has also significantly increased the income of local families. Many households, once primarily engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, now contribute to the tourism business, guided by a detailed service model. This shift has led to average monthly earnings per family ranging from VND20 million to VND30 million ($813 to $1,220).
In early 2022, Lo Lo Chai was officially designated as a Cultural and Tourism Village, marking the beginning of a more organized and professional approach to tourism. The number of visitors has been steadily increasing since then. According to Nguyen Van Chinh, vice chairman of Dong Van District People's Committee, Lo Lo Chai currently consists of 119 households with 542 residents, including 42 households offering homestay accommodations and five running restaurants. On peak days, the village can host up to 600 visitors, typically on weekends and holidays. On weekdays, there's an average of 100 to 200 guests.
The village's homestays have a traditional design, featuring shared living areas. Within these rooms, one can discover ancient artifacts from the Lo Lo people, contributing to a warm and welcoming ambiance. The serene and tranquil corners of Lo Lo Chai allow visitors to have a peaceful getaway.
Visitors can book rooms and meals through social media platforms. Business owners often provide daily updates on temporary residency and absences within these channels. The homestay rates in Lo Lo Chai offer a range of options, from VND150,000 to VND800,000 ($6 to $32) per night. The facilities for tourists are consistently being enhanced, and you'll also find souvenir stalls and local product offerings to enhance your experience.
