Over recent years, a number of high-end beachside resorts have been put into operation across the district.  In addition, the Marble Mountains Tourist Area has been established, with some aspects upgraded and some newly built to make the area all the more attractive to visitors.  The district’s Quan The Am (Avalokitecvara) Festival has been effectively publicised to local residents and visitors from both home and abroad.

During the past 5 years, a total of about 36 trillion VND has been spent on improving the district's infrastructure to help modernise its face.  In particular, local major streets have had new lighting systems and green trees planted alongside them to facilitate the travel demands of local residents and boost the local socio-economic development.  This has helped to establish closer links and promote exchange activities with neighbouring localities.

In addition, the quality of local healthcare services has been improved significantly, steady development has been recorded in the local education sector, and the district’s security and environmental sanitation have been ensured.

The authorities of Ngu Hanh Son District have received an emulation flag from the Prime Minister, and a leading emulation flag from the Da Nang People's Committee Chairman every year, in recognition of their annual significant achievements over the 2010 - 2013 period.
