Keep the soul of the moss house at the foot of Tay Con Linh

Nestled under the majestic Tay Con Linh range, Xa Phin moss village, Thanh Thuy border commune, Tuyen Quang province appears like a watercolor painting. The palm-leaf-roofed stilt houses covered with green moss, blending with white clouds, terraced fields and ancient Shan Tuyet tea trees, create a quiet, ancient and very unique beauty.

Keep the soul of the moss house at the foot of Tay Con Linh.

Xa Phin village currently has 54 households with 270 people, 100% of whom are Dao people. For them, the green moss-covered roofs are not only memories that have been passed down through generations, but also a unique feature that creates the unique identity of this land. The green moss roofs keep warm in winter and cool in summer, are both durable and evoke a sense of peace.

Ms. Chang Thi Thay, Xa Phin village, Thanh Thuy, Tuyen Quang , shared:
“Moss roofs have been with the people for generations. In the mountains, every house has thatched roofs. After 3 years, moss roofs began to appear and became attached to the people. Now there are 54 households in the village and all have thatched roofs.”

In Xa Phin village, almost all households have built stilt houses with palm-leaf roofs. Some roofs are 20-30 years old, covered with green moss, even interspersed with orchids, creating a separate ecosystem, a very unique natural picture. Coming to Xa Phin, visitors can immerse themselves in the unique cultural space of the Dao people, where the moss roofs tell the story of the enduring vitality at the foot of Tay Con Linh. It is this rustic, primitive nature that has created a lasting attraction, making this place a destination that is hard to ignore for those who love to explore and learn about indigenous culture.
