The interesting is that, not only on rainy days but even when there are floods, visitors to Tan Hoa can experience flood season life with local people when staying at floating homestays or kayaking across the flooded grassland in front of Tu Lan Lodge.
Quang Binh is building Tan Hoa Village to become the first weather-adapted tourism village in Vietnam. When the water rises, the house floats. If the road floods, the boat can float. The floating houses are converted into homestays that meet clean, modern, private and safe standards with the support of Oxalis.
