Planning a tour to Cao Bang Vietnam, most travelers would think of the Ban Gioc Waterfall or Pac Bo, or the Nguom Ngao Cave. Little do you know that this far-flung land is home to a secret ancient village dating from the 16th century…
Travel Guide to Khuoi Ky Ancient Village in Cao Bang
Location, How to Get There
The Khuoi Ky Village is in Dam Thuy Commune, Trung Khanh District, same area as the Ban Gioc Waterfall and Nguom Ngao Cave. If you visit either of the two latter attractions, you have to pass by Khuoi Ky Village. It is about 2km from Khuoi Ky to either Ban Gioc or Nguom Ngao. But the village is secretly hidden and for long it was not known to passers-by.
History
The Khuoi Ky Village was built by the Mac feudal group during the Trinh – Mac (Northern and Southern Dynasty War) in Vietnam. Because of the historical context, houses of stone were built which were homes and which were also fortresses. These houses have a very special architecture and the local ethnic Tay used their traditional techniques of building houses with material from slabs of stone and lime.
Architecture
Each house would have three compartments which have no walls separating them: the three compartments share the same open space but they are not one! The reason for this design is that it creates balance for the house and it helps the structure steady. It helps to bring in lucky energy.
The whole village is surrounded by mountains which makes it a separate peaceful world. In the front of the village, there is an idyllic river with water which flows for days and nights. The river helps to wash away all turbulence of the outside world; and the villagers return home each day, they are free from daily hustle. The village is a shelter for everyone here!
