Endowed with abundant natural resources, Lam Thuong commune preserves many unique cultural identities of Tay ethnic people in Luc Yen. Thanks to the beauty of nature and stilt house – the traditional house of Tay ethnic minority, Xoi has bravely developed community-based tourism in her family house.

Xoi family’s stilt house is designed with rooms to serve 15-20 guests. The most important thing in building the model is retaining traditional features of local Tay people such as brocade weaving, wood stoves and costumes.

Bui Lan Phuong, a tourist from Hanoi said: "I feel like at home when experiencing homestay services here, especially beautiful landscape, fresh air and friendly local people. I will introduce my friends to this place”.
