TPO - The Ha Nhi are an ethnic group that still preserves many unique traditional cultural features. Residing mainly in the highlands, the Ha Nhi are very good at farming on sloping land, have a lot of experience in terraced fields and have unique customs and practices. But the most attractive thing when coming to the villages of the Ha Nhi people, in Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province is the rammed earth houses in the middle of the mountains covered with clouds all year round.
|
The rammed earth house is a common architecture in the northern mountainous region of our country, but the Ha Nhi people build a unique house in that each house is made in a square shape with four pyramidal roofs, covered with thatch made from cogon grass or, more recently, with tiled or asbestos-cement roofs. |
|
The house is made of earth, the foundation is made of solid stone to avoid the foot of the wall from getting wet, creating high durability, not sagging over the years. In particular, it can adapt to the climate, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. |
|
A house is usually 60-80 square meters wide, but the walls are 40-60cm thick and 4-5m high. In the middle is the "arch" gate leading to the main house, and on the side there is a side entrance to the buffalo and cow pen next to the house. |
