The history of Clay Village in Dalat

Because Dalat highland is biased by mother nature, Dalat city possesses a dreamy and fertile land with picturesque landscapes. There are a lot of vast flower gardens blooming all year round, marvelous waterfalls such as Pongour Waterfall Dalat, and green pine forests.

That is the reason why Dalat has soon become one of the hottest spots in Viet Nam and millions of people visit Dalat annually. Besides, many people also settle down in Dalat and consider it as their second home. And Trinh Thai Dung is one of them.

Trinh Thai Dung used to be the manager in Ho Chi Minh City. However, he decided to give up all his successful career in the most magnificent city in Vietnam and moved to the city of fog, Dalat City to pursue his dream and follow his passion.

He went to the east of Tuyen Lam Lake with the dream of releasing his creativity and artistic spirit inside his mind and body. Furthermore, he lived here for a long time without power, clean water, or transportation, which was truly a big challenge for anyone in general and him in particular.

However, due to his confidence, passion, and persistence, he successfully underwent all obstacles and established Dalat Clay Village containing valuable quintessences and unique beauty through every work.

At the end of 2014, the Clay Tunnel Tourism has been officially open to welcome tourists from different places. Moreover, clay houses built inside this area were recognized as the first unbaked red brick house by the Vietnam Book of Records. Moreover, these houses are also known as the most unique house with the Vietnam map on the roof.
