QUANG NAM (VNS) Once covered in leaves, the oldest bamboo house in the central province of Quang Nam has been restored successfully by Vinahouse Company.

The owner of the 102-year-old house, Pham Thi So, 87, can't afford repairs, so she permitted the company to restore it. All furniture and utensils in the house are well-preserved. The building has one apartment and two wings like all Vietnamese traditional houses, according to the provincial Heritage Preservation Centre.- VNS
