The houses are mainly made of jackfruit wood and are adorned with exquisite and lively carvings, most of which remain undamaged despite having gone through so many wars throughout the years.
The village was recognized as a national relic in 2009 for the specific architectural, historical and cultural values of its garden houses which are over 100 years old. This is the second village of Vietnam with the recognition. From now to 2020, 25 houses will be upgraded. Each house will be provided non-refundable capital of from VND400 - 700 million./.
