Visitors to Nom Village will admire the Village Gate. This is one of the historical evidences of the two resistance wars of the Vietnamese people. Elderly people in the village said that the village gate is more than 200 years old. Due to the devastation of the war, the village gate has now been degraded but still retains many sophisticated motifs. The gate arch has the words: Dong Cau Nom.

In Nom village, space and time both seem to be calming down. Houses with ancient architecture, ancient trees, and towering areca trees gently cast shadows on the clear green village pond. The pace of life of the people is also peaceful and slow like a gently moving stream of water.
Nom market holds 12 sessions a month on days ending in numbers 1, 4, 6, and 9. In the past, the Nom market was one of the places that regulated the pace of life of the whole village with its famous copper craft. Unlike the market in the city, the Nom market is held inside brick houses without plaster. The red brick color, broken over time, is like something very nostalgic and old.
