Located at the foot of Quan Ba Heaven Gate, Nam Dam Community-based Cultural Tourism Village is home to the Dao ethnic community and preserves almost intact its rich traditional cultural heritage.

From a poor village amid the rocky highlands, Nam Dam has transformed itself into an attractive community-based tourism destination. What captivates visitors is not only the earthen-walled houses, clean stone-paved paths and tranquil scenery, but also the vibrant cultural life reflected in traditional costumes, folk songs, festivals, handicrafts and long-standing customs.

While developing tourism, the Dao people here have never compromised their cultural identity. They continue to preserve the essence of their heritage, turning traditional cultural values into a sustainable livelihood. The villagers’ sincerity, warm hospitality and determination to build prosperity on the foundation of their cultural identity have shaped Nam Dam into a peaceful, welcoming and vibrant destination.
