(Baonghean.vn)- Not only famous for its thousand-year-old banyan tree, Giai Xuan commune (Tan Ky) is also known for its 500-year-old mango tree, a "witness" to the flow of time.
 |
The ancient mango tree stands at the beginning of Bau Khe hamlet (Giai Xuan). Locals say the tree is very old, estimated to be about 500 years old. |
 |
The tree trunk is tall, the branches and leaves are lush and provide shade, the base of the tree requires 7 people to hug around. |
 |
Over hundreds of years, the tree trunk becomes rough and bears the mark of time. |
 |
The ancient mango tree in Bau Khe village now bears no fruit, only its canopy and branches stretch out to "show off" in the air. |
 |
There are points where the tree branches intertwine, and parasitic plants cling to the branches, creating a "coiled dragon" shape. |
 |
The tree provides shade and is an ideal resting place and sun protection for farmers after a hard day's work. |
 |
The shade of the mango tree is also an ideal playground for children in Bau Khe hamlet. |
 |
The mango tree stands tall at the village entrance, witnessing many changes and ups and downs of the village and homeland, and is the nostalgia of those far from home... |
