Mang Thit Heritage - Symbol of memory and transformation
With more than 1,000 ancient brick kilns, Mang Thit is a “living museum” of traditional crafts in the Southwest region. The pyramidal kilns burning bright red bricks were once a symbol of prosperity, where people skillfully used clay, water and fire to create sustainable building materials for generations.
Mang Thit brick is one of the symbols of traditional handicrafts in the Southwest region.
Nowadays, when the industrial pace of life takes over, the brick kilns are no longer as bustling as before. But instead of letting the heritage fade away, the local people and authorities have begun the journey of rebuilding Mang Thit, turning it into a cultural and creative space, where art, design and community tourism develop together on the old brick foundation.
Tourists come here not only to visit, but also to slow down, listen to the stories of the land and people and feel the rustic beauty being awakened in a changing space. That beauty is not noisy, not ostentatious, a mature, sophisticated and attractive beauty in silence, like the design language of Mazda: simple but profound, modern but rich in emotion.
Mang Thit brick village is gradually transforming into a cultural and creative space, a place where stories are told to listeners.
Mazda CX-5 - A durable companion on every heritage road
The story of Mang Thit preserving the soul of the old profession to enter the new era is also the spirit throughout the development journey of Mazda - a Japanese car brand that crystallizes the philosophy of sophisticated design and the harmonious blend of cultural heritage and modern technology.
In keeping with heritage, the Mazda CX-5 carries the spirit of the fusion between cultural tradition and modern technology.
The Mazda CX-5 carries the spirit of a new generation SUV design, modern but imbued with Asian values, with the Artful Design language combining elegance and strength. Exterior details such as the sporty 3D-patterned Signature Wing grille, sharp LED lights, and 19-inch Goshintai wheels are proof of the design philosophy of constant innovation while still maintaining the core Japanese spirit.

Mazda CX-5 is equipped with GVC-Plus (G-Vectoring Control Plus) technology - an advanced acceleration control system that acts as an "intelligent assistant" on every journey. Developed by Mazda to optimize the ability to self-balance the vehicle's body, this technology not only enhances stability but also brings a smooth, sophisticated and exciting driving feeling to the driver. In addition, the flexible Mi-Drive driving modes and modern terrain control system not only serve the driving ability, but also awaken emotions behind the wheel - from bustling streets to poetic roads like the peaceful and graceful journey to Mang Thit.
Modern features combine with refined interiors crafted in the Takumi spirit of Japanese artisans
Just like the way artisans in Mang Thit choose the soil, keep the fire and shape each brick, Mazda puts meticulousness and emotion into every design line, creating a car that is not only for moving, but also for connecting. CX-5 is not simply a vehicle, but a companion that helps the driver reach lands containing cultural depth.

While heritage doesn't stand still, Mazda also keeps moving.
The common point between Mang Thit and Mazda CX-5 is the spirit of inheritance but not static preservation. Old brick kilns are “rekindled” to become spaces for artistic creation, while Mazda combines traditional Takumi craftsmanship with modern technology to define new standards for future generations of cars.
Both Mang Thit brick kiln and Mazda CX-5 are proof of a sustainable direction: not a gap between past and present, but a continuity and transformation. When the past is supported by modern thinking, it is no longer a memory, but becomes a living material for the future.
