Covering an area of 198 hectares, the village will recreate the daily activities of local inhabitants, including the manufacture of tools and handicraft products and wet-rice cultivation.

It will also provide a glimpse into the culture, traditions and religious architecture of the 54 ethnic minority groups in Viet nam and act as a gathering point for local festivals and sport activities.

More than VND3.2 trillion (over US$200 million) will be spent on the national culture and tourism project.
