Beside those, precious objects can be seen inside and outside the House, such as the rockwork and the ornate sindora wood bed that NguyỠn Khuyến used to lie on in the last years of his life.
The landscape in the area is beautiful: a fruit orchard with various trees such as longans, shaddocks, cocoas, oranges; and numerous flowers: tuberoses, michelians, roses, and cycads. Kumquats and chrysanthemums, adored by the Poet when he was alive, also can be seen in the garden.
