Admire the unique Pomu wooden houses in Lung Cung

Lung Cung is likened to an "oasis" in the middle of the mountains... The Hmong live mainly in the middle of the mountain, so their houses are always designed with a structure suitable for the living environment, where the terrain is complex.

Samu, pomu wood both help them to overcome the cold in winter and stay cool in the hot summer, and at the same time can be used for decades. (Photo: Tuan Anh/VNA)

Most of the house frames of the H'mong are made of old bamboo and good wood that are hard, resistant to insects and do not decay quickly. (Photo: Tuan Anh/VNA)

Each roofing sheet is usually 1.1m long, 20-50cm wide and has a thickness of about 2-4cm. (Photo: Tuan Anh/VNA)

To secure the roof and prevent possible leaks due to rainstorms, people often put a waterproof canvas under the roof. This tarpaulin can be changed every year, but the wooden roof can be used for several decades, creating a unique feature of Lung Cung village. (Photo: Tuan Anh/VNA)

For the Hmong, the house, whether big or small, will follow you for the rest of your life, so it is rare to see the Hmong demolish the old house and build a new one because it contains many cultural and spiritual elements unless the house is affected by natural disasters or fires.

Each village usually has 30-40 roofs or more and at least two or more families live together in the middle of the mountain. (Photo: Tuan Anh/VNA)
