Following my uncle, a photographer in Dong Van, I came to Maung village or Thien Huong village. Road to the village, one side is the cliff, the other is the abyss. The high mountains up to the clouds make me think it is the "sky gate" of Dong Van. When looking out to see the distance, the collection is the small road on the mountain.
I heard the natives telling the Nho Que River to run from China, then went through Lung Cu and the road to Thien Huong was its upstream.

From the center of Dong Van town, it takes about 30 minutes to reach this beautiful village. The village is home to many centuries old trees, standing horrible in the destruction of time. This place was built by the people for worship.

Thien Huong village is an ancient village, inhabited by ethnic minority Tay people. They live by farming and making wine.
Moving deep into the village, you will see the ancient roof over 100 years. Each house is built in the style of ancient architecture, roofed yin and yang, walls built of earth. The house consists of two compartments, the upper room for furniture, the living room for cooking and living.

The most prominent feature of the Tay house is the altar. The altar is arranged solemnly, the two sides are lines of parallel sentences. At the door of the house, three talismans will be worn to combat evil demons.

The women in the village are dressed in traditional black robes and have a scarf on their head while working. Men also wear black outfits like Mong men for their activities.

If you mention Dong Van, people will immediately remember the wine vinegar, but if you have ever tasted through Thien Huong, you can think like me: This is the best wine here.
Thien Huong wine is a specialty of the village. To get a liter of alcohol Thien Huong, people in the village spend quite a lot of time and effort to do.

Alcohol is made with a strict process. At first, people will pick more than 30 kinds of leaves to make yeast, then take corn, pour into cooked. Dried corn with fingers, then poured out to cool down. Continuing this process, people will take yeast and start yeast, mix well and pile up. Incubate thoroughly. It was only a week before we had to leave the store.
With elaborate procedures, Thien Huong wine tastes sweet, sweet sweet in the throat, drink to feel smooth and warm belly. Currently, wine is sold for 40,000 VND per liter and sold to many other provinces besides Ha Giang.

Thien Huong Village has spent hundreds of years but still retains the traditional beauty. However, many villagers still live in poverty. The road to the village that is difficult to get muddy as rain comes together consecutive pits. Maybe so, that tourists feel "afraid" when moving to this place.
