The communal house is the place to worship Uy Minh Vuong Ly Nhat Quang - the person who opened up Nghe An land, and is revered by the people here as the village's tutelary god. The communal house's grounds have dozens of ancient trees hundreds of years old, adding to its ancient and sacred appearance. Photo: Duc Anh |
