About this activity
Morning take one hour drive from Hanoi to Nom Village in Dai Dong Hamlet, Van Lam District, Hung Yen Province. The village was formed at the beginning of the Common Era, according to a stele preserved in Nom Pagoda.
Thousands of years may have passed, but Nom Village retains its image as a traditional Vietnamese village. The arched village gate is made of bricks, on which are inscribed Confucian characters and the image of two dragons encircling the moon.
The center of Nom Village is the communal house. Before the road leading into the communal house is a pond several decameters wide and approximately 200 meters long. In the village over a dozen ancient houses and seven altars of the various families remain. Most prominent is the home of Phung Van Long, which was built about 200 years ago, according to documents from Hung Yen province’s department of culture, sports and tourism. The house includes fully intact wooden pillars and columns, on which exquisite carvings remain. After take a rest , enjoy Vietnamese tea and mingle with old local people at the communal house.
