There are two lovely churches (the “wooden church” and the Tan Huong church) established by French missionaries. Behind the wooden church be sure to check out the traditional “Rong house”. Rong houses are a type of tall thatched-roof community house built on stilts and are used for important local events, such as meetings, weddings, festivals and prayer sessions. The French missionaries also established two orphanages which are still in operation today. The children at the Vinh Son orphanage behind the Tan Huong church love to welcome visitors!
