(Baonghean.vn) - Located next to Ta Lam embankment, there are small hamlets of Hung Loi (Hung Nguyen) that seem to separate themselves from the bustling city to preserve the traditional village features from ancient times. The ancient houses nestled behind bamboo hedges are the home of many generations of people here.
 |
The Hung Loi dike area has two villages, Giang Thuy and Cu Thon, which still retain many rustic features. Despite the ups and downs and changes of time, the landscape and lifestyle here still retain the cultural identity preserved from the time of our ancestors. Giang Thuy is now the territory of hamlets 6 and 7, while Cu Thon is now hamlets 1, 2, and 3. |
 |
Cu Thon area still preserves many houses that are up to 300 years old. In the photo is the house of Mrs. Duong Thi Que (Hamlet 2, Hung Loi), preserved since the 1750s. |
 |
According to Ms. Que, the house has been passed down through 5 generations. |
 |
The ancient house retains many unique architectural features, notably the ground beam (the wooden part in front of the house to ensure the strength of the frame), a feature only found in houses built in ancient times. |
 |
Household items have also existed for a long time. |
 |
This bronze basin, despite being hundreds of years old, is still durable, strong and shiny. |
 |
Mr. Nguyen Dinh Huynh still preserves many valuable antiques from the Tay Son period. |
 |
It is known that his family once had a mandarin named Hau Hien in the Tay Son Dynasty, so they still preserve many valuable historical artifacts. The mosaic in the photo is hundreds of years old. |
 |
In Giang Thuy area, the ancient rustic features are still intact. |
 |
The old features are still preserved, although many houses have been repaired and upgraded. |
 |
They bear the architectural style of a bygone era. |
 |
Many typical agricultural tools are still carefully preserved. |
 |
Time has left its mark on this land... Photo of an ancient well in the village. |
