The Lao Xa Village is in Sung La Commune, Dong Van District, Ha Giang Province. The village is home to the H’Mong People who still maintains their traditional occupation of making silver wares beside their main livelihood of agriculture.
Travel Guide Overview for the Lao Xa Village in Ha Giang
Lao Xa Village is separated from the world via a heavenly road which snakes its way amid a sheer rock world. The houses in the village are on the mountain slopes and at the bottom there is a valley for agriculture, mostly corn farm.
The village is in a different world as the small road on the rocky path to the village from the main road is not that visible to passersby. Besides, Sung La has another village which has been too famed in Vietnam: House of Pao. While all villages in the Dong Van Plateau are so beautiful, Lao Xa is just a bit different: the location a bit hidden, the village settings are unique amid a world of rock, traditional houses with full blossoms at certain times of the year.
What to see
1/ H’mong Traditional Houses on the Rock Plateau
There are several houses in the village built of pounded earth as the walls and ying-yang tiles as the roof. Each house is surrounded by walls made of piling rocks one on another. Coming inside a house would make us feel the amazing vibe here that words fail to make the full representation.
2/ H’mong Traditional Ways of Making Silverwares
Making silverware has been a business at Xao La for a hundred years. The business is passed on from generation to generation within each family. The business is just as thriving as it used to be once but silverware is still extremely important in the H’mong life as ever. It is just that people have more choices nowadays and the trade within a village is not as prosperous as it once was.
Best time to visit
Lao Xa Village is best visited in the winter time (November through January) and spring time (February through April). During these periods, the sheer rock of the plateau boasts its full dark colors and the village is full of blossoms: spinach flowers in the winter, and peach and plum flowers in spring. Following the strenuous steep paths in the village and taking in the refreshing atmosphere could be an experience to last long in our life!
How to get there
Lao Xa Village is 30km east of Dong Van Old Town via Roue 4C, 30km northeast of Yen Minh Town via Route 4C. From Yen Minh, travel via Route 4C toward Dong Van Old Town, just before the Sa Phin Valley where there is the former Residence of the Hmong King there is a small road to the left. Lao Xa Village is only a few kilometers away, unreal landscape all the way to the village.
