Moss-covered roofs nestled at the foot of Tay Con Linh Mountain
Xa Phin village in Thanh Thuy border commune, Tuyen Quang province, is home to 54 households with 270 people, all of the Dao ethnic group. Many of the village houses have palm-leaf roofs carpeted with moss, earning it the name “the moss village.” These moss-covered roofs, blending with white clouds, terraced rice fields, and centuries-old Shan Tuyet tea trees, create a unique and ancient beauty in this borderland.
