Bamboo Water Wheels (Lang Tom)
Ancient irrigation wheels turning in the Cham River — one of Pu Luong's most iconic and photogenic sights.
Overview
The traditional bamboo water wheels at Lang Tom are one of the most photographed subjects in Pu Luong. Positioned along the Cham River south of the village, these large rotating wheels have been used for centuries to divert water from the river into irrigation channels for the rice paddies above. Several wheels stand in a row, turning slowly in the current — a sight that feels completely timeless against the backdrop of terraced fields and limestone peaks.
