Hamlets in Ta Xua, Lang Cheu, Xim Vang, Hong Ngai and Hang Dong communes have held art performances; volleyball and soccer matches, crossbow shooting, tu lu (a traditional version of spinning tops), pao throwing, and ‘banh day’ (round glutinous rice cake) pounding competitions.

During the traditional Tet holiday of the Mong ethnic people, the communes have counted poor households for timely support, ensuring all people could celebrate Tet. At the same time, they have encouraged people to actively prepare for new crop.
