Nestled in the lush green valley of Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, Cao Bang, Khuoi Ky Ancient Stone Village is a rare destination that fully retains the traditional architecture and culture of the indigenous Tay people. Situated near two famous landmarks, Ban Gioc Waterfall and Nguom Ngao Cave, the village offers a unique travel context, combining nature exploration with deep cultural insights. The highlight of Khuoi Ky is its stilt houses built entirely of stone, skillfully stacked without mortar, reflecting the Tay people's intimate connection with stone—both a natural material and a spiritual belief. This unique architecture is a testament to human ingenuity and adaptation to the environment. Stepping into the village, visitors will feel a peaceful, tranquil atmosphere, with the gurgling sound of streams and the blending scents of earth and stone. Ancient moss-covered roofs under old trees create a rustic, timeless picture.
