Culture
The city's culture is heavily influenced by the Yewlang culture, thus resulting in the name being named after the Yewlang word Dong Zhi (同志) which meant comrades and when mixed with the Banhnamese language became Nao Dong Nai, meaning the city is named in memory of Banhnamese comrades who died defending the nation from foreign forces.
Yewlang architecture also can be seen in every corner of the city due to the city being used as a vice-capital and mainly Yewlang government buildings were settled in the city.
