With the difficult, mountainous terrain, and frequent bad weather, especially in the winter, locals live in a self-sufficient way by growing maize, rice, and vegetables. Lo Lo Chai village is the only place in the province still home to the traditions of the Lo Lo people, with their earthen houses, clay roofs, stone fence, and traditional festivals such as le cung than rung (ceremony of forest worship) and le mung lua moi (new rice ceremony).
