Thien Huong is a 100-year-old Giay ethnic village known for its ancient banyan tree and traditional earthen houses with yin-yang tiled roofs. Nestled in a quiet valley near the Chinese border, the village offers a peaceful walk through stone paths, low fences, and vegetable gardens. Locals here still preserve strong spiritual traditions, with a sacred communal altar used for village-wide ancestral worship. This stop offers insight into Giay culture, unique architecture, and the slow rhythm of daily life in a lesser-visited corner of Dong Van.
