Kingdom of Trinh Tuong Houses Huu Khanh Commune in Binh Loc District is locally known as the kingdom of Trinh tuong houses, streets of Trinh tuong houses or land of Trinh tuong houses. The Tay people have two techniques of building the Trinh tuong houses. For the houses totally built with earth, the clay is selected and compressed into frames to make the walls. For the second type, moulds are used to make bricks from the clay to build the houses, but unlike the construction of modern houses, clay is also used as the glue and mortar.” Dan also said that choosing the area to erect the houses was the most difficult. According to the feng shui of the Tay people, the houses must face south and lean on the mountain, like the houses of the Kinh ethnic people. Huu Khanh area has a hilly and mountainous terrain, so it is most appropriate to build the houses on the hill sides. Most importantly, the place where the houses are built must have many trees, preferably old trees, because according to the long-standing experience of the Tay people such an area will never erode.
