Spotted deer, also known as white-spotted deer and flower deer, native to the forest regions of Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh and India, are the most common deer species in the region. Their belly is white, with a light reddish brown body, with white spots, looking very beautiful. The height at the shoulder is about 90 cm, the weight can reach 85 kg, the life span is about 20 to 30 years. Hawaii originally had only two species of mammals, the gray bat and the seal. After the Bosnians and Europeans arrived on the island, they respectively brought pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cows, rats, rabbits and other mammals; coupled with the fact that Hawaii was an important shipping hub and at the time, species from all over the world were brought ashore by smugglers’ ships, and apparently these exotic species later that have invaded the territory and food of native species and caused many of them to become extinct. According to a 2017 study published in the journal “Nature-Ecology and Evolution,” Hawaii and Florida in the United States are home to the largest numbers of invasive species in islands and continental coastal areas, respectively. globally. The growth and development success of spotted deer in Hawaii can be said to be a model of the invasion of alien species, according to experts’ estimates, there are about 70,000 spotted deer on Molokai Island in when the inhabitants there were only about 7,000 people; The second largest island is Maui, which has about 70,000 spotted deer, while in the other small islands there are about 50,000, the main island of Hawaii is only 16,000 square kilometers but has at least more than 100,000. The reason spotted deer is so successful in Hawaii is because of the vegetation here that the fauna is here – like protozoa, native species lead a very comfortable life, they are stupid and fearful, even they have not yet evolved any defensive skills, such as stinging and venom, which has allowed invaders such as spotted deer, wild boar, and goats to freely forage and reproduce without have any concerns. In addition, there are no aggressive predators and predators here, so spotted deer are not threatened at all, they did not even choose the breeding season, instead young deer were born. year round. This makes their growth almost unrestricted. This led to the ecological destruction of Hawaii by spotted deer. The birds that nest on the ground always have their nests destroyed, the green leaves and young shoots of the plants are also their delicious meal, the fruits, vegetables and sugarcane of the farmers have the same fate. The destruction of green vegetation by spotted deer has increased the fragility of the natural environment on the Hawaiian Islands, the land being washed into the sea, which in turn leads to the degradation of coral reefs. Moreover, spotted deer also provide food for another invasive species, mosquito, and threaten human health and safety; when they die and there are no animals to eat them, this will pollute the environment and form harmful risks to human health. The fragile aquatic environment on the archipelago is also greatly impacted; Spotted deer also love to wriggle across the road, which is also a fatal threat to motorists. Although sacred to Hawaiians and important to the local water supply, Hawaii’s endemic plant species ironwood (Hawaiian apricot tree) that grows in tall forests is also threatened by spotted deer. This plant can take root in volcanic rocks 20 to 25 meters high, when surrounded by clouds and fog, water will condense on the leaves and fall to the ground, condensing into droplets into the reservoir. In fact, ironwood trees are susceptible to two types of fungal infections, forming scars on the bark, before the tree can heal these scars on its own to avoid fungal infection, spotted deer will bite and rub the bark causing the wounds. wounds take longer to heal, eventually causing fatal injuries to the plant. It seems that the spotted deer invasion was really a big deal, although Kamehameha V is hailed as the last emperor of the Kamehameha dynasty, revered as much as the first, but at this point he has clearly created a crisis for the archipelago and has left a big problem for generations to come. Because spotted deer have no natural enemies, the Hawaiians have to hunt deer and consider it a part of traditional culture, especially in rural areas, many families have additional cold storage to store spotted deer meat. . However, most spotted deer in Hawaii live on private land, although a deer hunting license costs as little as $20 a year and can be obtained online, the procedures and processes involved in hunting are complicated. Shooting made the deer hunting efficiency very low. In addition to reaching an agreement with the landowner, each hunter must be accompanied by a Department of Agriculture inspector to conduct a medical examination of wild spotted deer after hunting. There is also another rule that hunters must always follow in terms of humane issues, which is to only fire a single shot against a spotted deer, this bullet must make the prey immediately unconscious. ie, which means you have to shoot at its skull. If you can’t do it, you can only wait until evening, bring military-grade night vision goggles, even use a drone to find the deer you want to hunt, to be able to do this humanely. In addition, US law allows you to provide game meat to people who need it, after which you must pass a few meat tests before you can enjoy them. But Hawaii does not have a legal venison slaughter operation, so even if a commercial deer hunter wanted to sell spotted deer, they would have to transport the spotted deer to the United States for processing, then then shipped back for sale, which makes spotted deer meat here commanding a hefty price tag. Spotted deer are good runners, smart and resilient, so Hawaii plans to build fences in 30% of key areas to protect endangered species from spotted deer – need to build fences nearly 4 meters high to be able to completely stop them, this is certainly a huge investment, difficult to make. Looking at this you might think it’s too complicated, but if Hawaii is located in China, the problem is much simpler, gourmets can quickly return the spotted deer herd to the state it was when they invaded 150 years ago for a short while.

Shakyamuni Buddha… … and Maitreya Buddha Palace are two of the three large palaces at Quynh Lam Pagoda. Quynh Lam Pagoda is said to have a history of construction from the Ly Dynasty and major restorations in the Tran, Le, and Nguyen dynasties. The stele “Reconstruction and reconstruction of the first Tien Du Son Quynh Lam Pagoda” in front of the present three-door gate shows the history of thousands of years of the pagoda. This stele is 2.46m high, 1.53m wide and 0.25m thick, originally erected in the Ly Dynasty, in the Le Trung Hung period, when the temple was restored, part of the motifs and all illustrations were removed. text of this stele for engraving. This is one of the largest steles of the Ly dynasty still in Quang Ninh. Over time, rain, sun, war, the pagoda became ruins in the mid-twentieth century. The temple has just been restored today and is now one of the largest wooden pagodas in the northern region, built from more than 1,500m3 of ironwood. The magnificence and magnificence of Quynh Pagoda is reflected in the complex of 3 large electric buildings with a total area of ​​more than 1,000m2, rebuilt on the foundation of the old pagoda, with traditional materials, with continuity, selected filter. The Emerald Buddha statue is the highlight of the Luu Ly Buddha Palace of Quynh Lam Pagoda. The outermost large hall is the Shakyamuni Buddha Hall, in addition to many large wooden pillars, there are also two very precious jade wooden columns with a diameter of more than 100cm, with a very pleasant characteristic natural fragrance. The Maitreya Buddha Hall is located in the middle, worshiping the Three Worlds Buddhas. The Buddha Hall of Peace is located at the back. The highlight here is the statue of Buddha Shakyamuni weighing about 3.5 tons, 2.2m high, which was provided by Vingroup with a value of about 20 billion VND. The ancient Quynh Lam pagoda, besides the statue of Maitreya, which is considered the Annam of the Four Great Airs, is also very famous for its steeple. This work is newly built on the old foundation site, with ironwood structural frame. In particular, the large bronze bell hanging here is 200 years old, cast during the restoration and embellishment of the pagoda during the Nguyen Dynasty. The bell of Quynh Lam pagoda was cast from the Nguyen Dynasty. Attached to a long history, Quynh Lam Pagoda saves the names and merits of many monks through the tomb towers still scattered in the temple garden. Especially among them is the ancient stupa built by Zen Master Phap Loa – the second ancestor of the Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen sect, to house the remains of Emperor Tran Nhan Tong and Tue posted the tower as the tomb of Zen. Monk Chan Nguyen, who had great merit in restoring the pagoda under Le Trung Hung. This is also the largest tower still in the tower garden. The stone footings and steps are the architectural relics of the ancient Quynh Lam pagoda. In the past, there was a saying “Muong pagoda yard, Quynh pagoda field” referring to the vast wealth and land of the pagoda. Now, although the area is no longer like that, Quynh Pagoda still has a very spacious campus with many kinds of shady trees. Around the temple garden, visitors can see the remaining ancient relics of the temple, giving visitors more emotions. Most of them are the footstones and stone steps from the Ly, Tran and Le dynasties, in which there are two stone mortars that are part of the nine products of lotus flowers in Quynh Lam and a very large lotus platform in the Le Trung period. hung… Quynh Lam from the past and present, no matter what time it is, is still a scenic spot in the East, bringing a special experience to visitors every time they come back.

Mr. Lam and a hundred-year-old ironwood tree in the middle of a thousand years Born in the border area of ​​Huong Son district (Ha Tinh), Mr. Tran Ngoc Lam’s childhood (SN 1960, living in Khe Nam village, Son Kim commune 1) was attached to the forest. In 1990, when the State had a policy to mobilize people to receive forests for care and protection, Mr. Lam volunteered to receive more than 26 hectares of forests, including more than 20 hectares of natural forests and 6 hectares of planted forests. In order to protect the forest, he sought to restore the hill behind the house that was destroyed, badly damaged for many years. Mr. Lam recalled, the whole forest at that time was cut down, there were no trees with a circumference of more than 100cm. “Watching the trees grow up day by day, I am very happy. Protecting the forest is very difficult, because the forest is large, the people are few, while the people have no rights, so when they detect the loggers, they can only chase them out of their land. Mr. Tran Ngoc Lam During the period from 1990 to 1992, this forest was affected by the bluff exploitation, which affected the water source. In the summer, the wells in the village were dry at the bottom, some households dug more than 20m deep but still there was not a drop of water. Life is turned upside down, all activities rely on water from heaven and streams. Realizing that the harmful effects of deforestation are too serious, in addition to strictly protecting the existing forest tree area, Mr. Lam’s family borrowed a loan to plant acacia on the area of ​​production forest and enrich the natural forest area with tree species. Indigenous people such as green lim, doi, kien Kien… on average, he plants 3,000 trees a year. “After many years of eating and sleeping in the forest, looking back, the value of each tree is really precious,” said Mr. Lam, recalling the more than 30 years he spent in the forest. In order to admire the ancient ironwood trees, we were led into the forest by Mr. Lam and local ranger Doan Doanh Tuyen (Huong Son Ranger District). After climbing the pass, wading streams, the ironwood forest gradually opened up in front of our eyes, the higher we went, the dense forest, many big trees that 2 people couldn’t hug. As he walked, Mr. Lam pointed at the big tree stumps and read the name: “This tree is green ironwood, over a hundred years old, like this one two people can’t even hug; On the other side is the dot, the circumference is over 100cm. I have to go up here often, I’m very tired, but if I’m negligent, I’ll be the bad guy to cut it right away,” Lam said. The sixty-year-old man shared that, over the past 30 years, he has not had a single night of sleep because many loggers are trying to steal wood to sell. He was even threatened with death by a logger. Forest protection is not easy, eat the forest, sleep in the forest. There were times when family life was difficult, not eating enough, some people suggested that he cut down some wood to sell, but he still decided to keep the green ironwood forest, so that today the forest will pay back. Thank you for the old man with ancient iron roots over a hundred years old. Lam’s ironwood forest is like a “green lung” to develop ecosystems, prevent erosion, and prevent floods.

Building exterior. An old villa is estimated to be about 100 years old, called by the people around it as Bao Dai Villa, with the interior structures, rooms, stairs and toilets almost intact. The new owner of the villa, businessman Ho Hoang Hai (Phu Thanh Company) is looking for support from researchers, architects … to learn the origin of the villa and have a conservation direction. to turn this place into an attractive cultural site of Hanoi. The villa is located near Ngoc Ha slope, hidden behind the rows of shops and street kiosks, still intact the curving fence panels of the old royal garden. According to the drawings of the villa that Mr. Ho Hoang Hai collected, the villa has a splendid scalloped garden with a wall of winding like dragon body outside. The main entrance to the building. The mansion is the main work in a complex of four ancient villas located at the top of Ngoc Ha village. According to the people living in this area, these palaces are all related to the Nguyen Dynasty during the reign of King Bao Dai. Some of these houses are designed in Western style but have tiled roofs. Landing stairs and windows to get sunlight. The building has a unique architecture that combines both oriental styles. Passing through the gate of 186 Ngoc Ha, one can easily see that the fence wall of the villa is built like a dragon, covered with tile, and from above, you can see that the entire wall is formed into a shell Giant clams embrace the mansion. The stairs lead up to the attic. Entrepreneur Ho Hoang Hai said that this villa has passed the hands of many owners, however, fortunately the owners are very careful to keep the house during the stay, so the basic structure of the building, with some parts of the interior still intact. The whole floor is paved with ironwood, the water is shiny black like new. The system of built-in cabinets is also made of iron wood. Inside the rooms, every room has a fireplace. The wall separates rooms inside the building up to 60cm, is soundproof and keeps warm in winter, but makes rooms cool in summer. Wooden ladder. The stylized winding wooden staircase, with the armrest is firmly built with bricks and wooden edges. In the corridor connecting the rooms on the floor, there are built-in technical boxes, which seemed impossible at a time about 100 years ago. In addition to the original wooden door system, the building also has sliding door systems in some rooms and garages, which are still running smoothly and very light. Except for a few rooms, the owner has made plaster ceilings to serve the needs of homestay, but did not affect much the structure. In particular, the villa also has a self-contained, upstairs toilet, which is no different from modern houses, which was difficult to find in other ordinary houses 100 years ago. The stairs lead to the 3rd floor. Mr. Dao Duc Toan, 66 years old this year, who is one of those who lived near the mansion since he was a child, said that this mansion has many interesting things. For example, below the building there is an underground tunnel about a few hundred meters long, which is said to lead to West Lake, to the seaplane wharf of King Bao Dai. Residents living around the building also told the story of going down this tunnel to avoid bombs and hide the soldiers there during wartime. When the peace was restored, for a while the tunnel became a place to play hide and seek for children in this area before it was closed to avoid rats, bugs … Ho Hoang Hai (in black shirt standing in the middle) was leading reporters to visit the villa. In addition, Mr. Ho Hoang Hai also said that he heard people around him about a building about 50 meters away from this mansion, which is said to be the dance floor and guest house of King Bao Dai. In fact, at the beginning of Ngoc Ha slope, there used to be a famous draft beer restaurant in Hanoi at that time because there was a wine cellar below. Mr. Dao Duc Toan recounted that when he was a child, his family lived about 100 meters from the building. At that time, the population in this area was very sparse, standing on top of his house could still see the roof of the mansion. “The house has a very high historical value, with the basic interior still intact, along with many details of the building. Since childhood, I have heard that this is a building related to King Bao Dai. This house, if restored as in Do Son or Da Lat, will become an attractive tourist destination in Hanoi, ”he said. The garden fence wall is winding with the tiled roof and the relief door is still intact. Mr. Ho Hoang Hai said that he has searched for information and documents about the villa in many places, from people living in the villa’s premises, to some places to keep documents, research, but still have not found any documents and documents that accurately guide the owner and the time to build the villa. It is said that this is the house of the wife of King Bao Dai married to a French husband, there is also information that the house was built by Mrs. Marie Nguyen Huu Hao, the sister of the Empress Nam Phuong. “My biggest aspiration is to get information, as well as get help from research institutes, experts in history and architecture, to find out the exact origin and owner of the throne. this mansion. I want to turn this place into a cultural address of Hanoi, for people to understand and appreciate the precious heritage that the city owns. But only when you know clearly and concretely the information related to this house will the mansion truly return to its true meaning ”- Mr. Ho Hoang Hai shared. Some pictures inside the villa: Wall-mounted cabinets, curtain braces are still intact. All loose furniture in the house belongs to the tenant for display. Every room has a fireplace. Wall cabinet system is still intact.

The unfortunate “refresh” According to businessman Ho Hoang Hai – who currently owns most of the villa at 10A Ngoc Ha slope, Hanoi (now 186 Ngoc Ha lane) is said to be related to King Bao Dai, this villa is due to French architect Arthur Kruze designed. Originally, there are 3 floors, but the previous owner renovated the hot-resistant attic to become the 4th floor. The area in front of the villa, which is a garden of over 300m2, has a fence – surrounded by the people in the area called “dragon wall”, but this space has been built by people to live, only dragon wall. The surround was kept almost intact, only a short corner of the corner at the top of the alley was demolished. A corner of the villa still remains original. Photo: Thuong Hue “Two months ago I acquired a part of the ownership of the villa which is a part of the 1st and 3rd floors, the rest is from 4 owners. In general, the interior of the house has been surprisingly intact for the past 110 years such as: Stairs, ironwood floors, fireplace, wooden doors, built-in wooden cabinets ”- businessman Ho Hoang Hai shared and expressed wish to find solutions to preserve the architecture as well as historical and cultural values ​​of this villa.
However, speaking with the Economic & Urban reporter, after 4 hours of preliminary survey in and on the premises of this villa, Assoc.Prof. Dr. Khuat Tan Hung – Head of Department of Theory and Heritage Conservation architecture, Hanoi Architectural University said that the original value of the villa has been overshadowed by the regrettable renewal.
According to Assoc.Prof. Dr. Khuat Tan Hung, although the villa still retains many valuable original values, from looking outside, the professionals can see the existing details such as: yin and yang tiled roof; roof architecture inspired by traditional communal roofs with blades soaring at the four corners; dragon wall surrounds; The red brick stairs in front of the villa leading up to the second floor are still original. Inside the villa, there are intact fireplaces, built-in cabinets, window frames and curtains, showing the unique architecture of this French colonial villa, combining Eastern and Western cultures. The outward appearance has the appearance of the East, in the heart of the modern Western-style architecture; not at all contradictory, but surprisingly and interestingly in harmony with each other. Unfortunately, the homeowner has renewed the wall with white paint, plus the plaster ceiling, plus the landscape of the original villa has been replaced by undulating high-rise tube houses. The original architecture of the villa was sunk and overshadowed.
“That’s not to mention, the villa has been added to an attic, the existing wooden staircase is most likely not original, as through preliminary investigation, the original staircase leaned towards the grantino plan ( granulated stone, pigment, cement, plastering, glazing), not wood cladding. Along with that, the multi-ownership of the current villa makes the space and architecture here be broken by the walls blocking the ownership boundary. For example, the staircase from the first floor leads to the third floor (the part owned by businessman Ho Hoang Hai). With this architecture, the staircase going up to the right is the hall on the 2nd floor but is narrowed by a wall and then the path to the 3rd floor is quite narrow. ” – Associate Professor, Dr. Khuat Tan Hung analyzed.
Need to expand the scope of conservation
According to Assoc.Prof. Dr. Khuat Tan Hung, in order for the aforementioned villa to promote its value, the original element must be clearly revealed. To do this, he said that it is not easy, because the principle of conservation is to have a comprehensive conservation plan and then to be specific, that is to preserve the whole area, from house number 170 – 186 Ngoc Ha, Because there are still a number of French colonial villas in this area, there are even more intact architectural villas than the one related to King Bao Dai mentioned above. Meanwhile, this area is outside the boundary of the regulation on architectural planning management of the old quarter of Hanoi. “However, it is still a bit fortunate that it is still on the list of the management of French colonial mansions of the city. But in order to preserve and promote the value of this mansion, it is imperative to expand the conservation scope ”- Associate Professor, Dr. Khuat Tan Hung emphasized. Entrepreneur Ho Hoang Hai (leftmost) discusses with experts and economic and urban reporters. Regarding the businessman Ho Hoang Hai wants to preserve this villa, Associate Professor, Dr. Khuat Tan Hung said that this is good news, welcome and should be encouraged. Because of the fact, the villas of French colonial architecture in Hanoi that are still quite intact, mostly owned by the State, are offices, embassies; Privately owned villas appear to have been deformed over time. He also said that, in order to do this, businessman Ho Hoang Hai must first buy all the ownership of the villa in order to preserve and reveal the original value and promote the value of the villa. the villa in all aspects.
Expressing high agreement with the analysis and comments of Assoc.Prof.Dr. Khuat Tan Hung, Dr. Vu Hoai Duc – Lecturer of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Sciences, National University of Hanoi, said, in the world. there are already experiences in successfully conserving the urban heritage that are applicable to this case in Hanoi. People gather heritage lovers into a group, this group of people with the nucleus are “sponsors”, while promoting communication about the value of heritage works, in order to create new awareness in community. They will then work vigorously on the legal front (lobbying for regulations to make it more difficult to change the urban layout and destroy valuable buildings) and eventually donate. have enough money, buy heritage buildings, renovate them beautifully and then sell them at a much higher price, with legal covenants protecting their identity.

“In my opinion, in Vietnam, specifically Hanoi can also be deployed in this way and Mr. Hai can form a team of lovers of old and old villas to mobilize collective strength in conservation work. , not only the villa is partly owned by you but also many other single villas are privately owned in the area and in the city area ”- Dr. Vu Hoai Duc said and said that, in the short term, It is necessary to properly assess the value of the urban heritage itself in the spatial population with tangible and intangible links on the cultural – historical dimension. For example, the continuation of the row of 3 villas, closely related to the Botanical Park – the royal garden in the past; Dinh and Ngoc Ha village – one of the ancient lands of Thang Long citadel. From there, it is possible to issue and enforce sanctions in repair and construction of works, work areas that are considered to have historical, cultural and architectural values. Although it is called “Bao Dai Villa”, the fact that King Bao Dai ever owned or actually lived here is not certain. There is information that this villa was built and inaugurated by an aunt of King Bao Dai in 1911 (Bao Dai was born in 1917), when abdicated, King Bao Dai used to come here. However, it is said that this is the mansion of Mr. Bao Dai with King Bao Dai, that is Baron Pìerre Jules François Didelot – husband of Mrs. Marie Agnès Huu Hao, sister of Nam Phuong Hoang Hau. The villa was built in 1939, not 1911, by architect Arthur Kruze (1900 – 1989) – professor of Indochina Fine Arts College, because according to recorded documents, architect Arthur Kruze graduated in architecture in 1929 and I went to Vietnam to be a lecturer in 1930 – 1954.

King Bao Dai His real name is Nguyễn Phúc Vĩnh Thụy (1913-1997), the last king of Nguyen Dynasty . He is famous for owning many of the most luxurious mansions in Vietnam, with a total of seven mansions scattered across the country. Hidden in a lane at the beginning of Ngoc Ha street, the house mansion wearing a tepid color of time. The house was built more than a century ago, perhaps because of that, it is bold in me France architecture in Indochina at that time. Ancient buildings are a unique combination of both Eastern and Western architectural styles. Outside, the typical oriental dragon phoenix roof architecture. Although nearly 100 years old, the roofing tiles remain intact and have not faded over time. Stepping inside, the interior designs are completely Western, with windows that are structured in French outer glass: the regular inside is shaded by lightning. Not only that, but the window system and sliding rail doors still operate smoothly after nearly a century. What impresses anyone when visiting the house is perhaps the wide, graceful ironwood steps connecting the floors. In addition, the heating system and wooden wall-mounted cabinets available in all rooms remain original. What amazes visitors is that the house has an underground tunnel system and an exit as far as West Lake. However, decades ago, the government, when taking over, rebuilt it and assigned it to high-ranking officials. It can be seen that this is a historical work with a special architecture, both modern and once on the luxury of the residence of the last emperor of the Vietnamese feudal dynasty./.

Ancient buildings with both Eastern and Western architectural styles. Ancient buildings are a unique combination of both Eastern and Western architectural styles. Outside, the typical oriental dragon phoenix roof architecture. Although nearly 100 years old, the roofing tiles remain intact and have not faded over time. The mansion at 186 Ngoc Ha Street is located in the middle of Hanoi capital, but very few people know it because over time, households build houses to obscure the vision of the villa. The materials for building the residence are imported from France, Italy, Spain … Although nearly 100 years old, the roofing tiles have remained intact over time. French house architecture, when being imported into Vietnam, has also been modified more or less in terms of design and details to suit the locality. The area outside the fence at the entrance to the old mansion is a courtyard garden of 300 square meters wide. In particular, although the architecture is French style, the palace is cleverly dotted with typical East Asian architectural details, from the dragon shape curving on the fence wall leading to the house to the dragon and phoenix motifs. in the roof that was originally reserved for the kings of the Nguyen Dynasty. And here is a photo of the owner of the mansion. King Bao Dai’s real name is Nguyen Phuc Vinh Thuy (1913-1997), the last king of the Nguyen Dynasty. He is famous for owning many of the most luxurious mansions in Vietnam, with a total of seven mansions scattered across the country. Stepping inside, the interior designs are completely Western, with windows that are structured in French outer glass: the regular inside is shaded by lightning. Not only that, but the window system and sliding rail doors still operate smoothly after nearly a century. Electrical and plumbing systems go underground in the walls and under the floor. Even in the house, there is also a copper floor negative electric socket and water pump made in France that are still operating until now. The French villas or palaces always give priority to having trees to adjust the indoor temperature to a level that is not too high even on hot days. In particular, the architect designed the house cleverly added natural elements outside the window frame in the attic that is hot and humid so that the homeowner can take advantage of planting some more vines, increasing blue and aesthetics. What impresses anyone when visiting the house is perhaps the wide, graceful ironwood steps connecting the floors. In addition, the heating system and wooden wall-mounted cabinets available in all rooms remain original. The built-in wooden cabinet system is almost preserved. The interior design is completely Western, exuding luxury and nobility. Currently, the villa is being hired by an interior design company as a business premises. Mr. Ho Hoang Hai, the current owner of the villa, expressed his wish to have more historical and architectural information from researchers to help develop and preserve the unique architecture. This unique.
