who opened up the long-term self-control and independence period of Viet Nam after Bach Dang 
Victory in the year 938.
All houses, gates, village gates and wells are built of laterite creating an architectural complex, a unique 
village that is typical for villages in the midlands in the North of Viet Nam.
At present, there are still nearly old 200 houses and many other historical monuments such as Phung 
Hung Temple, Ngo Quyen Royal Tomb, Mong Phu Communal House, Ho Gam Hill at which Phung Hung 
killed tigers to rescue villagers and the temple at which the diplomat Giang Van Minh is worshiped.

Traditional costumes of Hmong women are very complicated with many bright colours and 
embroidered patterns. An outfit consists of a deep V-chest shirt, two square pieces covering the front 
and the back, a big belt, a headscarf, and a cone-shaped skirt. Hmong women often wear jewelry such 
as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings. Hmong men wear a sleeveless shirt with four pockets, and 
trousers.
The Thai woman often wears a blouse and a black long skirt. The cloth belt which connects the blouse 
and the skirt is made of blue, green or pink cloth. Women always wear a brocade headscarf (Khan Pieu), 
and a few items of silver jewelry. The interesting fact is that a Thai girl wears a blouse with an even 
number of buttons, while a married woman wears a blouse shirt with an odd number of buttons.
Both Cham men and women wear long one-piece sarongs or cloth wrappers. Men wear shirts fastened 
down the centre with buttons, while women wear long-sleeved blouses. The Cham women wear the
