Surrounded by the Rong (Dragon), Voi (Elephant) and Hum (Tiger) mountains and the Ma (Horse) River, the village is considered one of the country’s most 10 beautiful old villages.

Having more than 370 households, the village has an architectural design of a pure agricultural village, with peaceful alleys, temples, pagodas, caves and wells.
