The tourist site is also associated with the magnanimous and heroic struggling tradition of M'nong people. It is also the station of N'Trang Long's insurgent army in the struggle against the invaders. This is also the revolutionary base of the army and the people in the former Quang Duc Province and the Resistance historical relic - B4 – Interprovincial IV Resistance Base was recognized as a national historical monument by the Ministry Of Culture And Information (now Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism) in 2005.
As planned, Nam Nung ecological-cultural-historical tourist site has an area of 142.24 hectares, including four functional subareas: cultural area, entertainment area, Nam Nung ecological area, and pilgrimage and festival area. In the future, a complex of works serving tourists such as restaurants, country-seats, lakes, and flower gardens will be constructed on the top of Nam Nung Mountain, while a complex of resorts and convalescence areas will be built on the mountain side. The entertainment area is surrounded by a graceful river, so tourists can lie down the buoy and drift downstream on the river with a length of 300 meters, running under the shadow of trees.
The objective of the project is to form a typical tourist site, providing distinctive tourism products, exploiting comparative advantages, fostering and protecting natural and cultural resources, protecting the ecological environment, and meeting the needs of sightseeing, discovering waterfalls, studying biodiversity, cultural and history combined with religious tourism with the Buddhism.
