For many years, Thai ethnic minority people in western mountainous region of Nghe An province have maintained traditional waterwheels left by their ancestors on both sides of streams and rivers. This is not only an effective agricultural tool that helps them deliver water from lower rivers or streams to higher fields, but also a familiar image of mountainous villages and a typical cultural feature of the Thai people. The water wheels demonstrate the ingenuity and creativity of the Thai people in Nghe An province and ethnic minorities in mountainous areas as a whole. Today, along with the natural landscape of the highlands, gentle and cool rivers, waterwheels have become an attractive destination, attracting tourists to explore the natural beauty and daily life of the ethnic minority people.
