| Lung trees are used to produce items such as toothpicks, chopsticks, incense sticks, etc. to serve the export rattan and bamboo weaving industry, so lung trees are in high demand. Not only production units in the district but also neighboring districts, Vinh city, and Hanoi come to buy lung trees here. Photo: Phuong Cuong |

Previously, to preserve the lung tree, the government banned the exploitation of this type of bamboo. By June 2018, lung trees in Dong Van were allowed to be exploited again... Currently, each quintal of lung bamboo costs from 120,000 to 140,000 VND depending on the type. Photo: Phuong Cuong |
