About Muong Bi Village
🏡 The Story of Uncle Lon
In the lush green valley of Muong Bi, Tân Lạc District, there lives a man everyone in the village affectionately calls “Uncle Lon.”
He was born and raised in Luy Ai Village, where the sounds of the stream, birds, and gongs blend into a gentle rhythm of life. After years of working far from home, he returned with one simple dream — to preserve the beauty and soul of Muong culture, not only for his children but for visitors from around the world to experience.
From the traditional stilt houses and homemade mountain dishes to the warm smiles of the villagers, Uncle Lon treasures every piece of his homeland.
He often says:
“We Muong people don’t just live with nature — we live within it. I want everyone who comes here to feel that harmony.”
And so, Muong Bi Homestay – Uncle Lon was created — as a way for him to share his deep love for Muong Bi culture and the peace of Luy Ai Village with travelers seeking authenticity and connection.
🌿 Luy Ai Village and Muong Bi Culture
Luy Ai Village lies in the heart of Muong Bi Valley, one of the four ancient Muong regions of Hoa Binh Province — Bi, Vang, Thang, Dong.
Surrounded by rolling mountains, rice terraces, and gentle streams, the village remains a peaceful corner where time seems to move more slowly.
The people of Luy Ai live simply and kindly, preserving the traditional Muong way of life for generations:
They build stilt houses of wood, wear handwoven brocade skirts, and celebrate with gongs, songs, and festivals whenever the harvest comes or a wedding takes place.
Every morning, the sound of roosters echoes across the hills; thin smoke rises from the stilt houses; children play joyfully by the crystal-clear stream.
Life here flows slowly, peacefully, and in harmony with nature — something rare and precious in today’s world.
At Muong Bi Homestay, guests are invited not just to stay, but to experience authentic Muong life: pounding sticky rice, weaving fabric, tasting bamboo rice and grilled stream fish, and listening to stories of ancient Muong Bi told by local elders
