(Baonghean.vn) - Nam Khien 1 and Nam Khien 2 villages (Nam Can - Ky Son) are located more than 5 km away from the commune center. The village is surrounded by hills and mountains, so this is truly considered a valley of Nam Can commune.
Nam Can commune currently has 7 residential villages, of which Nam Khien 1 and Nam Khien 2 are separate. Previously, these 2 villages were 1, then separated. To get to the 2 Nam Khien villages, you have to go through slippery slopes with countless buffalo ditches. However, the rather special thing about this residential cluster of 125 households with more than 1,000 people is that the people have a peaceful life and still retain many traditional features of the Mong ethnic group.
