| The colors of change. Along the road running like a thread between the mountains and hills, there are slanted rapeseed gardens planted on the mountainside. The yellow color of rapeseed flowers seems to bring new life to this remote area that was once considered the capital of opium poppies. |
 |
| The space is filled with yellow mustard flowers. The rustic color of mustard flowers, if viewed separately, no one would say they are beautiful, but a whole golden field, shining together, makes people admire. The yellow color of the flowers brightens up the whole sky of Muong Long, which is misty and cloudy all year round. |

| This is a gift from the mountains and forests to humans. Muong Long mustard is grown by the Mong people as a clean vegetable specialty of this land. In addition to admiring the flowers, visitors can also buy fresh green mustard, with intact yellow flowers in each garden or at the roadside markets. |

| The beauty of hibiscus makes visitors forget the way back. The name Muong Long is also called Muong Quen (because the meaning of the name Muong Long according to the explanation of the Mong people here is to get lost - forget the way), which means a remote land where anyone who comes will find it difficult to find the way back. Another person explains that when coming to Muong Long, many people are seduced by hibiscus and forget the way back. But Muong Long - Muong Quen is now sought out by many people to visit the scenery. And admiring the flowers here is a way to forget all the dust and hustle and bustle. |
 |
| People live in harmony with nature. Muong Long is home to the Mong people. Spring days are also the days of endless joy for the Mong people. In those bright yellow flower gardens, visitors can easily see Mong girls dressed in their most beautiful clothes attending the festival. Their healthy beauty also makes this land burst with vitality. |
