Nom Ancient Village Complex

About this location

Nom Ancient Village: A Premier Authentic Northern Vietnamese Rural Setting Located in Van Lam District (Hung Yen), Nom Ancient Village is a quintessential Northern Vietnamese rural heritage site that has preserved the spatial structure of a traditional Vietnamese village almost entirely intact. Key visual highlights include a 200-year-old nine-span stone bridge with dragon-head carvings, an ancient moss-covered brick village gate, Nom Pagoda with its hundreds of terracotta statues, and a central pond shaded by ancient trees. The architecture of fired-brick houses, spacious communal courtyards, and herringbone-patterned brick alleys provides excellent production depth, natural lighting, and diverse camera angles for both wide and medium shots. With its deeply historical architecture, this is an ideal location for period dramas and historical films recreating the village life, customs, and society of Northern Vietnam from the 18th to the 20th centuries; social-psychological dramas featuring family settings or nostalgia for the Vietnamese countryside; and documentaries exploring architectural heritage and Buddhist sculpture. Located just 30 km from the center of Hanoi, Nom Ancient Village offers convenient transportation infrastructure and a tranquil atmosphere, making it highly suitable for large film crews.
