The highlight of the mansion is the sculptural art shown through the sections of the block, bearing the imprint of the Vuong family. Most of the furniture and items in the mansion when the owner was still alive are kept and well preserved to this day. Over a hundred years of existence, the items of the mansion have been stained with old colors but are still solid. They still have many spiritual and cultural values.
