(Baonghean.vn) - Located nearly 15km from the commune center, Noọng Ó village in Hữu Lập commune (Kỳ Sơn district) still faces many difficulties and hardships. It is almost completely isolated from the outside world.
To reach Noọng Ó, the only way is to follow a single road that winds along the mountainside at increasing altitude. This road is steep, winding, and often subject to landslides after heavy rains. This is one of the reasons limiting the socio-economic development of nearly 100 Thai ethnic minority households in this remote village.

| Located on the border between Huu Lap, Bao Nam, Pha Danh, and Muong Long communes, Noong O village is almost completely isolated from other villages in the commune, and its residents face many difficulties in all aspects of life. |
 |
| The only road leading to Noọng Ó is both steep and treacherous, making travel extremely difficult. |
 |
| Like many other villages in Ky Son, the lives of the people of Noong O depend on slash-and-burn agriculture. |
 |
| The villagers erected fences to enclose areas for grazing their buffalo and cattle. |
 |
| Thanks to the government's attention, the people of Noọng Ó now have access to a gravity-fed water system. |
 |
| The traditional craft of brocade weaving is still maintained by women, providing a source of income for their families. |
 |
| Due to difficult transportation and challenges in getting building materials to home, most houses here are roofed with corrugated iron. |
 |
| The stilt houses in Noọng Ó are built in the traditional architectural style and decorated with beautiful patterns. |
|
| Steamed sticky rice to serve guests. |
