About this location

Huynh Phu Ancient House - A Hue architectural imprint in the Mekong Delta. Huynh Phu Ancient House, also known as Huong Liem House, is located in Dai Dien Commune, Vinh Long Province. It is a significant architectural and artistic landmark of the historic Ben Tre region. Built between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the house is associated with Mr. Huynh Ngoc Khiem and has been preserved almost intact for over a century. Spanning more than 500m², the structure is built in the traditional 'xuyen trinh' style with three main bays and two lean-tos, distinguished by its wooden column system, yin-yang tiled roof, and exquisite wood carvings. Motifs such as the Four Holy Beasts, Four Seasons, lotus and crane, the Eight Treasures, and Chinese calligraphy create a layer of decoration rich in aesthetic and cultural value. From a visual perspective, the garden space, facade, column system, wooden interior, and intricate carvings allow for a diverse range of shots, from architectural panoramas to symbolic close-ups. With its classic architectural features and traditional living space, Huynh Phu Ancient House is suitable as a setting for historical dramas, period films, family dramas, documentaries, and works recreating life in the Southern region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
