Keeping the mountains and forests in the northernmost part of the country, Lo Lo Chai village, where the majority of the Lo Lo people (one of the very few ethnic groups in Vietnam) live, appears peaceful, poetic, and ancient with hundred-year-old houses, walled houses, yin and yang tile roof, stone fence. The beautiful scenery in Lo Lo Chai is also created by the year-round flower seasons such as: Peach blossoms, plums, pears, cabbage, buckwheat, wild chrysanthemums and other landscape flowers.

The walled houses of the Lo Lo people have brown earthen walls located low behind the stone fence, which not only brings beauty in the highlands but also shows the simple but no less solid house-making techniques of the highland people. The houses here are mainly built of clay and clay, The fence wall is erected of stone.

Coming to Lo Lo Chai, you can see young girls and even middle-aged women wearing their ethnic costumes. Among the branches of the Lo Lo people, the most beautiful and colorful costumes are those of the Lo Lo Hoa people with the main black color. The costumes of Lo Lo women, no matter which group they belong to, are always present and shine like the soul and character of the Lo Lo people living in the rocky plateau for hundreds of years.
