The Tam Hai mural village is located in Thuan An hamlet. It opened with more than 20 colourful and vibrant paintings in July 2017.
These paintings described the imagery and cultural features of Tam Hai, which made it a favourite destination for travellers and was highly appreciated for its attractiveness.

The mural village was the result of the efforts of about 20 students from the Faculty of Architecture, University of Science and Technology - the University of Danang.
Over the past seven years, the paintings have faded due to time, and some have been damaged by local construction and repairs, impacting the overall landscape.
