Viewed from above, the beauty of the closely packed brick and pottery kilns creates a unique "Red Kingdom," a symbol of Western Vietnam's industrial architecture that now needs to be preserved.
The moss-covered, dark red brick kilns are a vivid testament to history, creating a unique and timeless beauty. Located along the river, the kilns were convenient for production and transportation of goods throughout the country.
The bricks are arranged in neat rows, drying in the sun. Producing beautiful, high-quality bricks requires skilled and diligent craftsmen, from the brick-making process to the firing of the finished product.
The skillful hands of the potter are meticulously breathing life into each block of clay, transforming raw materials into soulful works of art.
After days of intense firing, batches of perfectly fired bricks, displaying a vibrant red color, are ready to leave the kiln and be distributed to all corners of the country.
Wiping away the beads of sweat that rolled down his face, the craftsman's smile remained radiant. The bricks were red, the sweat salty, but the joy sweet, because each brick coming out of the kiln was another rekindling of the flame of his craft.
The harmonious coordination of the craftsmen in the intense heat of the kiln brings the finished products out after the rigorous firing process.
This place is now not only a producer of bricks and pottery, but has also become an attractive destination for international tourists, where they can discover the unique heritage values of the western region of our country.
The unique red pottery products, the pride of Vinh Long , showcase a rustic and enduring beauty, a testament to the strong resurgence of the craft village.
The restored and rebuilt brick and pottery kilns serve as a testament that the fire here will never be extinguished, but will always transform itself to endure through time.
