Dong Du Village is a typical Vietnamese agricultural village in terms of culture and traditions. The village is surrounded by mountains which are mirrored in Khe Lau Lake.

Dong Du Village has many historical monuments and an ancient house named Dong Truc which contains cultural and historical values dated back to the and Tran dynasties. In the village, all the alley roads have stone walls. The community-based tourism project has been developed in Dong Du Village since 2001.
