Nam Giang Commune (Nam Dan) is one of the basic localities of the province that meets the model new rural standards in 2022. Today, Nam Giang countryside has concreted sidewalks for pedestrians along many major roads, and a solidly covered drainage system, ensuring environmental sanitation. On both sides of the road, rows of trees spread shade, flower banks show off all colors, and high-voltage electric lighting systems illuminate the countryside every night. Many residential areas in the villages and hamlets are close together with spacious high-rise buildings; cultural houses are airy and clean, beautifully decorated and effectively functional.

Mr. Phan Trong Hai - Chairman of Nam Giang Commune People's Committee said: "The highlight of Nam Giang Commune is that the commune has Eo Gio eco-tourism experience site, which is a weekend picnic spot with many interesting and attractive experiences. The commune has established art, sports and health clubs that operate regularly, and cultural life is increasingly rich. Political security and social order and safety of the residential area are always maintained.
