"gateway” location in Hang Kia commune. It sits along a main road and features
a space similar to the architecture of the Mong people, from land shape,
decorations to eye-catching and harmonious
layout of the living room. According to Sung Y Mua, owner of the home-stay
facility, she always puts herself in visitors’ shoes to learn about their needs
