Situated at the foot of the Marble Mountains in Ngu Hanh Son District’s Hoa Hai Ward in Da Nang, the Non Nuoc stone carving village has a proud history covering hundreds of years. 

Recent years have seen many rapid changes in Hoa Hai Ward, and the Ngu Hanh Son District as a whole, which are seen as ways to further the development of the craft village.

There are over 500 stone carving establishments in the village, employing thousands of carvers.  Many of these craftsmen have made significant contributions to the district’s progress and raised the prestige of their production and business activities.

Mr Nguyen Hung, who is one of the village’s well-known artisans, is a typical example.  He noted that there has been an increasing number of visitors arriving in Da Nang.  Thanks to this, his stone carving establishment and stone sculpture showroom is receiving many more buyers.

Another example is Mr Tran Van Xuat, the owner of the Xuat Anh Company.  He said that Hoa Hai Ward, and indeed the whole of Ngu Hanh Son District, has witnessed many positive changes in infrastructure and the living standards of residents, with many new roads and spacious houses.  This is mainly attributed to the great efforts made by the city and district authorities, and their listening to the aspirations of local residents.
