Under the plan, Duong Lam village – a natural heritage site – will be preserved in a bid to maintain its original architecture and intangible values.

Target areas include Mong Phu, Dong Sang, Cam Thịnh, Doai Giap and Cam Lam hamlets, and part of a rice field in Duong Lam commune, covering more than 164ha in total.
Priority will also be given to protecting local residents’ ancient houses and lifestyles.
