The ancient houses are called “ruong” house which contain three compartments and two lean-tos with spacious surroundings. Especially, the house is mostly built by wooden piles which can be easy to disassemble and resemble.

An outstanding feature of Phuoc Tich’s ancient house is its tree-fences used to define this house to the other. This fence is just about half of one meter, making the space really natural and airy.
