The Palace of Hmong King Vuong Chinh Duc (called “Nhà Vua Mèo”) has been existed for nearly 100 years old and become the unique tourist attraction in Ha Giang Vietnam.
Vuong Chinh Duc (1865 – 1947) was the only leader honored by the Hmong ethnic groups in the region. They dignified him as “The Hmong King” who officially controlled four districts of Quang Ba, Yen Minh, Meo Vac, and Dong Van.
The whole building in wood and stone had nearly 3.000 square meters, starting to be built in 1919 and finished in 1928. In general, the large house reflected the architectural influences from China, Hmong, and France. The whole mansion had three compartments of Front (Tiền), Central (Trung), and Back (Hậu), with 64 rooms for a capacity of 100 people. The Front Compartment was for the security guards and servants. The Central and Back Compartments were for the Vuong families to work and live. In the area between the Front and the Central compartments was the wooden floor of judgement.
In 1993, the palace of Vuong Chinh Duc was ranked as the National Relic. Then, in 2004, the Vuong family donated this House to the Government for reservation, making the Hmong King Castle tourist attraction in Ha Giang.
