This house has an additional upper floor. It is made of wood but the floor is stone as its original. There are some wooden columns inside the house which have foundations made of stone.

I got out of the mini bus at this place for visiting Suối Giàng. The road on the left side is to Nghĩa Lộ town (12km). The road on the right side is to Yên Bái city (70 km). I had to travel 12km by motorbike from this cross to Suối Giàng (going up mountain).
