Traditional architecture on the Rocky Plateau

Earthen-walled houses are among the distinctive architectural features of the Mong ethnic people on the Dong Van Karst Plateau, reflecting generations of accumulated experience in adapting to natural conditions and preserving cultural values passed down through generations.

Despite the passage of time, these houses continue to tell stories of human ingenuity in the rocky highlands and the enduring efforts to preserve a unique architectural heritage.
