This ancient house is associated with the lives and careers of two Mong people, King Cat Vuong Chinh Duc and Vuong Chi Sinh.

The project was built from 1898 to 1907, costing a huge amount of money equivalent to 150 billion VND today. The architecture inside the mansion is extremely unique, the crystallization of three different cultures including the Mong, French and Chinese. The King Meo Palace was ranked a national monument by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 1993, after nearly a century of existence.
