Thai Hai Stilt House Village

Thai Hai Stilt House Village is an ecological and cultural reserve in Thinh Duc Commune, Thai Nguyen City, Thai Nguyen Province, about 10 km from the city center. Established to preserve traditional Tay and Nung stilt houses relocated from the ATK Dinh Hoa area, the 25-hectare village comprises more than 30 restored houses set among hills, ponds and tea fields. It is notable for immersive ethnic cultural experiences, homestay accommodation and conservation of northern Vietnamese heritage and community-based tourism activities.

Visitors can expect a landscaped 25-hectare reserve with more than 30 traditional Tay and Nung stilt houses on hillsides around ponds and gardens. The village is a living community where residents maintain daily life, cuisine and crafts. Visitors can walk between houses, see wooden architecture and household altars, join guided cultural programs, taste local tea and Tay dishes, watch brocade weaving and folk performances, and stay overnight in homestay houses.

Initiated from 2012-2014 by Nguyen Thi Thanh Hai, the project relocated and restored more than 30 traditional Tay and Nung stilt houses from the ATK Dinh Hoa revolutionary base area to prevent their disappearance, creating a conservation reserve for northern ethnic architecture and wartime heritage.

Preserves and presents Tay and Nung ethnic culture including stilt-house architecture, spiritual practices, folk songs and dances, brocade weaving, traditional cuisine and tea culture, functioning as a living village for heritage transmission and community-based tourism.
