Have you ever wondered what it’s like to live in a house made of earth, built to withstand the test of time and nature? Welcome to Ha Giang, where the traditional nhà trình tường (earthen houses) of the Hmong people are more than just shelters—they are masterpieces of culture, history, and sustainability.
Nestled amidst the breathtaking mountains of Ha Giang, the nhà trình tường showcases the resilience and ingenuity of the Hmong community. These houses are constructed using a unique technique of compacting earth into solid walls, which provide natural insulation against Ha Giang’s harsh winters and sweltering summers.
The architecture is simple yet striking. Thick earthen walls form the structure, topped with wooden beams and a sloping roof covered in tiles or thatch. The layout inside is functional, with separate spaces for family living, cooking, and hosting guests. Every house tells a story of generations, traditions, and the deep connection between the Hmong people and their environment.
Why visit these iconic houses?
1. Cultural Significance: The nhà trình tường is not just a building—it’s a symbol of the Hmong people’s identity, reflecting their resourcefulness and harmony with nature.

3. Scenic Beauty: Imagine visiting a Hmong village surrounded by lush rice terraces, dramatic mountains, and these charming earthen houses—a true photographer’s dream!
