Noble Heritage of Kim Long

Garden Houses and Local Flavors Uncover centuries of history and heritage during a visit to Kim Long Village, known as the “land of longevity.” Begin with a drive to this historic village, where you will board a rickshaw for a gentle ride beneath leafy canopies and past temples, community halls and quiet lanes. The village’s rich past is reflected in its graceful architecture, including its famous garden houses—aristocratic homes blending Vietnamese architecture with landscaped ponds, gardens and orchards. Learn about Kim Long’s spiritual heritage and pause to enjoy local cakes and herbal teas as you observe the rhythms of village life, before entering one of these historic garden houses.
