Mu Cang Chai has a special national relic of terraced fields, with 99% of the population being ethnic minorities (mostly H’Mong people), Mu Cang Chai preserves many unique traditional cultural features of the West North.
The unique cultural traditions have brought Mu Cang Chai great potential for tourism development, especially cultural tourism.
Detailed Planning Mu Cang Chai New Urban Area: Connecting H’mong cultural space
Criteria ideas
- Identity: The city has cultural identity of the Hmong and Thai people
- Future: An urban area of the future, modern, comfortable, meeting the needs of the new generation
- Friendly Harmony: Friendly and harmonious city between people and nature

The northern area is Nam Kim stream, where the existing downtown area will have commercial and service functions.
The area south of the stream is the cultural space of the Mong ethnic group. The main stream is the connecting axis.
