Ngoc Chi Communal House
Introduction
Ngoc Chi Communal House is located in the center of Ngoc Chi hamlet, Vinh Thanh commune. This is an ancient communal house founded in the 17th century, having undergone many major restorations during the Nguyen dynasty (early 20th century) and the most recent renovation in 2024; the communal house still retains its ancient and solemn character.
In 1993, Ngoc Chi Communal House together with Vinh Thanh shrine was recognized and ranked as a National Historical-Cultural Relic by the Ministry of Culture and Information. This is not only an honor and pride of the local Party committee, government, and people, but also affirms the relic's outstanding value in the nation's cultural heritage.
For the people of Ngoc Chi, the communal house is a dear image associated with hometown memories of 'banyan tree - wharf - communal courtyard'; it is a place that everyone remembers with peaceful memories no matter how far they go.
