In addition, a wide range of fruit trees, including some which originate from the southern region, are planted across the village. Therefore, the village is also known as a ‘southern village’ in the central region.
The village is also famous for its 200-year-old Tich Thien Duong house, which belongs to Mr Do Huu Minh. This house keeps intact some of the special architectural characteristics of an ancient traditional Vietnamese house, including a flour mill, rice mortar, cake mold, and a coal iron and a wood stove. In addition, it features a moss-covered roof, sophisticated carved patterns, and east and west-facing rooms designed by the ancient oriental architecture.
Most notably, the house boasts such impressive outdoor miniatures as an artificial water course, a bird house, and shelters made of bamboo and palm leaves. These are all arranged in accordance with feng shui rules.
Mr Minh said, “Over recent years, the Thai Lai Village has seen a decrease in the number of visitors due to a severe shortage of attractive tourism products. I am making every effort to effectively manage and fully tap the great potential of the Tich Thien Duong house in order to attract more tourists to my house, and the village as a whole”.
Chief of the village, Mr Le Van Vo remarked, “In attempting to make our fruit-tree planting areas more attractive to visitors, the villagers have asked the Hoa Vang District authorities to provide more fruit tree seedlings for them. In May this year, the district’s authorities submitted a proposal to the municipal People’s Committee to develop the 17.6ha Thai Lai Cultural Ecotourism Site”.
Under the proposal, the focus will be on developing the infrastructure, building more drainage systems and enhancing the aesthetic of local landscapes. In addition, new parks and fruit-tree planting areas will be created.

CHAM MUSEUM
The Museum’s first building was opened in 1919, but many Cham sculptures collected in Danang, Quang Nam and elsewhere were brought to the site over the preceding twenty years. The collection was begun by French archaeologists and experts from ÉCOLE FRANCAISE D’EXTRÊME-ORIENT (EFEO). Some artifacts were sent to Paris and others to the Ha Noi and SaiGon (now Ho Chi Minh City) museums, but many typical objects were left in Tourane (now Danang).

Nam O Fish Sauce Village
About:
Nestled on Hoa Hiep Ward, Lien Chieu District, the Nam O village is well-known for its fish sauce-making. Its product wins the trust of customers both at home and abroad.
Established in the early 20th century, Nam O is a small fishing village which is regarded as one of the best producers of this delicious dipping sauce. The Nam O village used to support itself by producing firecrackers until the government imposed a ban on them in 1995.
What to explore:
The Nam O brand of fish sauce tastes very different from similar products from elsewhere in the country thanks to its special recipe. An Association of the Nam O Fish Sauce Village has been established and is recognised by the National Office of Intellectual Property of Viet Nam. In addition, the Association has been granted a collective label for its fish sauce product.
Nam O fish sauce is made from long-jawed anchovies with a high protein content which are caught in the 3rd lunar month. Its delicious taste is partly attributed to the fish mixed with salt which is sourced from Ca Na Beach in Ninh Thuan Province. The grains of this salt are white, well-dried, and larger than the salt from other localities. It is dried on a cement floor for between five and seven days, and it is then stored in pottery vats for a few of years before being used to salt the fish. The process of salting the fish starts from the 3rd lunar month and the sauce-making will be finished in the days leading up to the next Tet Festival. Nam O fish sauce is dark red and has a very nice aroma. 
The fish must be freshly caught and of medium size. They are cleaned in sea water before being preserved, not fresh water because this takes away their taste and smell and the fish can go off easily during the long preservation period. The vats must be made from special woods, including jackfruit wood. The fish is mixed with salt and layered in the jars. Over the top layer is placed a grid of bamboo or dried areca bark. The vat is carefully sealed and kept in a dark, dry, clean and cool place away from the wind. After six or seven months, the fish is stirred. When a white yeast substance forms on the top, the grid is taken off. At the beginning of the lunar new year, the preserved mixture is filtered through a piece of silk to create the dark red fish sauce.
Despite its many ups and downs over the past 2 centuries, fish sauce-making in this village still flourishes today due to its special secret recipe. At Tet or on other special occasions, many people in the city and from localities beyond seek to buy bottles of Nam O fish sauce because of its special flavour.
