About Naneng Heritage

Naneng Heritage Village, known as the "Seat of Heritage and Culture" in Tabuk City, is one of the region’s oldest settlements. Its historic European-inspired Ginitob houses, dating back to the 1920s, stand as a testament to the village's resilience and rich architectural heritage. Visitors are welcomed into a living community where centuries-old traditions are carefully preserved. A highlight of Naneng is the art of backstrap weaving, showcasing intricate Gittot and Laktob patterns crafted by local elders. Visitors can watch artisans at work, learn about the symbolism of each design, and even try weaving themselves, creating a personal keepsake. Traditional dances are also performed, sharing local stories through expressive movements, while homestay experiences allow guests to immerse themselves in daily village life. The village offers a taste of Kalinga’s culinary heritage, including the famous Inandila rice cake, enjoyed in communal settings that emphasize hospitality and connection. Surrounding the village are scenic mountains and the mighty Chico River, providing stunning landscapes for exploration, photography, and reflection. Naneng Heritage Village is more than a destination—it is a hub of cultural preservation and sustainable tourism. Workshops, demonstrations, and immersive experiences ensure that visitors not only enjoy but also respect and support the local community. Every visit strengthens the bond between tradition and modernity, offering a unique journey through the history, artistry, and natural beauty of Tabuk City.
