Mu Cang Chai district is home of Hmong (91%), Thai and Kinh tribes. It included 13 communes
One issue faced by the local people was keeping the water sources on the land and ground for growing rice on the slope of mountain. The Hmong people developed a very special irrigation system to retain water by making the levelling the land on the mountain to create the rice terrace fields. They have not enough of water so there is only 1 rice crop a year.
