Familiar images of the Northern countryside

(Dan Tri) - The countryside in the North with its unique and similar architectural works, spaces, and layouts is always a familiar image imprinted in the mind.

The countryside is the cradle of formation, development, nurturing, and transmission of Vietnamese cultural values for thousands of years. In the countryside, the dike becomes a place for cultural activities, a place to cool off, herd buffalo, fly kites..., and a childhood memory. In the photo is an afternoon on the Huu Chap dike on the Cau River ( Bac Ninh ).

From Bac Ninh, crossing the Cau River is Bac Giang , these two lands still preserve many unique traditional craft villages. In the photo is a wall made of pottery of Tho Ha pottery village ( Bac Giang ).

The ancient trees in the fields are often a place for rural people to take shelter from the sun, rest and chat after finishing their work. In the photo, people from Song Lieu commune (Thuan Thanh, Bac Ninh) sit and rest under a centuries-old ebony tree.

Typical architectural works of the Northern countryside are communal houses, pagodas... blending into the space of banyan trees, ferry docks, communal house yards, dykes, village markets, and shops at the village entrance. In the photo is the space of Phu Huu village (Phu Son, Ba Vi, Hanoi ).
