Location: Tho Ha Communal House is in Tho Ha Village, Viet Yen District, Bac Giang Province.

Characteristics: Tho Ha, an ancient communal house built under the reign of King Le Hy Tong is surrounded by many old trees.

The structure of Tho Ha Communal House brings many features of the Chinese characters. The praise-giving house is 27m long, 16m wide and stands on a raised ground surrounded by three grey stones steps. Curved up like a scimitar sword blade at the four corners, the roofs of the Communal House are covered with ancient crescent-shaped tiles and decorated with purple-burned glazed terra-cotta creatures such as lion cubs.
