"Kingdom of bricks and tiles" on the Co Chien River

Among the brick and tile craft villages in the West, the area along the Co Chien River (Vinh Long) is considered to have the oldest history.

From above, Mang Thit brick and pottery village looks like ancient towers lying on the Co Chien River.

Along the 30km long green riverbank, hundreds of Mang Thit brick kilns are connected one after another.

Many brick kilns are not in operation so they are covered with moss, becoming attractive tourist destinations.

Mang Thit brick kiln has accompanied the Co Chien river for more than a century, becoming a symbol of the handicraft of the Mekong Delta.

In addition to bricks, some households also make pottery to preserve the traditional profession.

Brick and ceramic products here not only serve the domestic market but are also exported to many international markets.

Ceramic products are prepared to be put into the kiln.

Local people still proudly call Mang Thit the "kingdom of bricks and tiles" - a place that preserves the hundred-year-old memory of a once-famous traditional craft.

Bricks here are sold throughout the Mekong Delta.

Brick and pottery kilns here are mostly located along the river for convenient transportation of materials and products by ship and boat.
