Joining hands to preserve communal houses in Central Highlands
Communal houses (Nha Rong) serve as shared community spaces and cultural symbols of ethnic minority villages in the Central Highlands. However, due to various natural and human factors, many communal houses in the western part of Quang Ngai Province have deteriorated or been damaged. In response, local authorities have introduced various measures to restore these communal houses. At the same time, drawing on the strength of great national unity, residents of ethnic minority villages have joined hands to renovate and rebuild their communal houses, ensuring that their roofs continue to rise proudly against the sky of the Central Highlands.
