Visitors also have the opportunity to return to the communal house yard after visiting the village to enjoy the cultural program performed by the Kon Pring village gong team. The sound of gongs will begin to sound, from the floor of the communal house, a group of barefoot women dancing slowly come out to the beat, their hands swinging while their dances reenact scenes of production and daily life of people. The group of men beat the gong while following the group of women, everyone formed a circle, walking around the fire.
