One of the first highlights when you Explore Local Ethnic Culture Quan Ba is the chance to visit Lùng Tám, a H’mong village famous for its centuries-old hemp weaving craft. Watch artisans transform raw hemp into beautiful, natural fabrics using traditional tools and dyes derived from local plants.
In Nam Đàm, a picturesque village inhabited by the Dao people, you’ll witness traditional wooden homes, ceremonial costumes, and the famed herbal baths. The Dao community in Nam Đàm has preserved their customs with pride and are eager to share their stories with respectful visitors.
Held once a week, usually on Sunday mornings, Quản Bạ Market is an ethnic melting pot.

The energy is vibrant, the colors dazzling, and the authenticity undeniable.
The art of weaving in Lùng Tám is not just a skill—it’s a symbol of H’mong identity. Women spend months creating a single traditional outfit, starting from cultivating hemp to hand-sewing patterns.

Evenings in the villages often feature traditional music and dance performances. Accompanied by handmade instruments like the khèn (bamboo pipe), these performances celebrate seasonal festivals, love, and community. Join in the circle dances, try local instruments, and share in the rhythm of life.
