In recent years, thanks to the developments of construction material technologies, modern materials have gradually replaced the traditional Yin-Yang tiles. However, some households in Tu Do commune have been trying to keep the tradition.

Thanks to the efforts, the commune with Yin-Yang tiles making households has become an attractive tourist destination for visitors.

Below are some photos of the Nung ethnic people’s Yin-Yang tiles making.
