Quynh Son community-based tourism and cultural village is nestled in Bac Quynh Commune, Bac Son District, Lang Son Province. This charming village is home to over 400 households, predominantly Tay ethnic people, who reside in south-facing architectural stilt houses.

Visitors are especially enchanted by the ripe rice seasons in July and October. Climbing to the top of Na Lay Mountain offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Quynh Son valley, where the rice fields form a giant, picturesque natural landscape.

In Quynh Son Village, guests can immerse themselves in the local culture through folk performances of Then singing and Vi singing, accompanied by the melodic sounds of the Tinh lute played by Tay ethnic artists. Additionally, visitors can savor traditional dishes such as black rice cake and roasted pork seasoned with unique local spices.

Annually, on the 12th and 13th days of the first lunar month, the village hosts the Long Tong Festival, celebrating farming with a variety of attractive folk games that draw thousands of tourists and locals.
