Traditional stilt houses in Bo Cung Hamlet.

In the Tay people's concept, the staircase of the stilt house connects the ground with the floor and is considered as a bridge between yin and yang. There is always an odd number of steps. Tay people usually build the staircase with 9 steps to represent the 9 aspects of the soul.

A large stilt house usually has 5 compartments, each with a separate function. The first compartment is where the host receives guests, then the nave for ancestor worship. The next is usually the kitchen and the auxiliary compartments are for sleeping, living and paddy storage.

The simple but familiar cultural features of the Tay ethnic people in Bo Cung Hamlet are clearly shown in their living in stilt houses. Even now, the Tay community in Bo Cung are always aware of preserving their traditional stilt houses.
