(To Quoc) - Quynh Son Commune (Bac Son, Lang Son) has about 1,800 people, of which 99% are Tay people. Notably, there are more than 400 households (accounting for 90% of the whole commune) still living in traditional stilt houses.
Quynh Son commune (Bac Son district, Lang Son) has six villages with about 1,800 people, of which 99% are Tay people.
Notably, there are more than 400 households here (accounting for 90% of the whole commune) still living in traditional stilt houses.
Quynh Son community cultural tourism village is located in Bac Son district, about 80 km from Lang Son city center. More than 400 stilt houses are located in Bac Son valley. The people living here are mainly Tay ethnic people and up to 90% have the surname Duong.
The stilt houses here follow the traditional 5-room architecture, mainly made of ironwood and ancient ly wood. To prepare enough of these materials, people have to go deep into the forest and high mountains to find good, long-lasting wood to ensure sustainability and sturdiness.
The roof is covered with yin-yang tiles, with an average height of about 6 - 7 meters and has a spacious, airy space.
Mr. Duong Cong Chich's family is one of the first five households to convert to homestay tourism to welcome guests. "Most of the houses in the village are roofed with yin-yang tiles, and the walls are made of wood or bamboo," Mr. Chich said about the stilt house.
According to him, yin-yang tiles, also known as gutter tiles, are a traditional roofing material of the Tay people. The tiles are cool in the summer and warm in the cold winter, and are produced right in the commune.
In the past, people slept on the second floor, the ground floor was often used to keep cattle, farm tools and store rice. Since community tourism, the lower floor is often divided into bedrooms, or converted into a place to welcome tourists. The middle room (photo) is a place to worship ancestors, the two outer rooms are used by the homeowner to receive guests, and the two side rooms are used as bedrooms.
"With the goal of building and developing tourism into a spearhead economic sector, in which cultural heritage is the foundation and driving force for development, Bac Son district has organized the restoration, performance, teaching, creation and dissemination of traditional culture in the community, family and school.
