The Da Nang government has given the green light to a project on building an ecological park and square south of the Nam O rapids in Hoa Hiep Nam Ward, Lien Chieu District.

As part of the Nam O community-based tourism development project, the project, costing more than VND50 billion, is funded by the Trung Thuy Group JSC.

The planned area, including Nam O rapids, is about 53,261m². Of which, 18,682m² will be earmarked for the construction of the ecological park, and 2,441m² for the public square. Meanwhile, the natural forest area maintained in its current state is about 32,138m².

According to the plan, an ecological park and public square will be built to protect the Nam O Reef area. Also, public space combined with tourism exploitation will be created in service of residents and tourists.

Specifically, a walking route around the rapids will be built at the ecological park. Open space points such as a viewing platform, a platform to exploit the landscape of the rapids, and service facilities will be arranged for visitors.

The public square south of the Nam O rapids will feature a large space combined with green trees and public amenities such as rest huts and public toilets.

The plan also clearly states the conservation and embellishment of relics in the Nam O rapids with the focus on maintaining the status quo of natural forest land.

The Nam O rapids ecological park has a maximum construction density of 2.78%. The public square south of the rapids has a maximum construction density of 5%.

The municipal People's Committee assigned the Lien Chieu District authorities to coordinate with the investor of the Nam O eco-tourism area project to have a written commitment agreeing to connect water sources and underground low voltage lines to supply the project.
