Watching Spring on a Po Mu thatched roof in the highlands of Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - Located at an altitude of over 1,000 m above sea level, Huoi Giang 1 village (Tay Son commune, Ky Son district) is home to the Mong ethnic community. On this highland land, people still retain unique cultural features, rich in identity. And hidden in the colors of peach and plum blossoms are the very unique and special houses roofed with sa mu and po mu wood. Spring at the border is truly beautiful and warm.
