Nestled within the dramatic, mountainous landscape of Cao Bằng province, Vietnam, the ancient tile village of Lũng Rì in Hạnh Phúc commune is celebrating 200 years of existence. The village is renowned for its traditional “âm dương” (yin and yang) tiles, a unique craft passed down through generations. Lũng Rì presents a picturesque, historical scene, seemingly untouched by time. The village’s location, surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and natural beauty, contributes to its charm and cultural significance. The bicentennial marks a milestone for the community and its enduring artisanal traditions. The continued practice of tile-making represents a preservation of Vietnamese cultural heritage in a remote and visually striking region.
