Take a look inside this communal house in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which is over 300 years old.

The Communal House of Tay Hoi is around 330-years-old and is the oldest house in the city.

Footage from October 2020 shows the interior of the building which includes a temple that has remained throughout the structure's multiple restorations.

The head of the communal house, Nguyen Van Ty, said: "In the past, villagers supported land to build this house.

Dinh Thong Tay Hoi worships two princes and children of King Ly Cong Uan, a man named Dong Chinh Vuong and Duc Thanh Vuong.

During the war it was ruined and then after Liberation day, it was restored.

"At the main gate is the screen to worship the Tiger God, a popular image in Vietnamese folk life."
