Tranquil Vietnamese house with cultural activities
Take a break in a Muong ethnic household that is equipped with all the comfort you need
Mo Hem village in Tien Phong commune, Da Bac district is home to 30 Muong ethnic households. Located in the middle of the hill, Nhu Quynh homestay has a great view and where silence becomes your music. The steady and spacious stilt house is set up to provide a good relaxation time to the guests. The kitchen, the toilets, and the garden around the house give tourists feelings of familiarity.
Guests like to eat our Ladakhi food. They say it is delicious, even when it is prepared by an elderly ama (mother) like me. I always make sure I serve them the cleanest and healthiest food. My husband is a copper artist. When guests leave us, they say ‘Julley’, and hug us. It makes us feel happy.
I became a Mountain Homestay Host in 2018, and I have hosted many travellers since then. Running a homestay has helped me and my family a lot. Not only is the solar set up in our house useful for us, but even travellers prefer to stay in our homestay because of it.
The training we got in astronomy turned out to be a life-changing experience for our village. I felt happy and proud while mapping the position of the planets and sharing the secrets of the universe with the tourists. Tourists told me that even they didn’t know so much about the dark skies!
