In addition to the local traditional culinary specialties, Nam Dan district is also famous for its egg persimmons and root persimmons. These two varieties of persimmons are grown most in Nam Anh commune.

In order for tourists to experience the cool green rose gardens on the hillsides, in 2018, the District People's Committee had a policy to renovate some rose gardens of the people, to create a highlight in the development of community tourism in the future.

Accordingly, the district will select 3 adjacent rose gardens in hamlet 8, Nam Anh commune, with an area of ​​over 3 hectares. What is special is that these 3 rose gardens are planted on both sides of the road to Dai Tue pagoda. Therefore, after arriving at Dai Tue pagoda, tourists can easily visit and experience the cool green rose gardens on the mountainside.

To facilitate tourists during their visit to the rose garden, the District People's Committee will invest in building a pedestrian traffic system in the rose garden area, installing a number of mobile toilets...
