(Baonghean.vn) - Behind the temple grounds of Grand Tutor Cuong Quoc Cong Nguyen Xi in Nghi Hop commune, Nghi Loc district (Nghe An) are three ancient trees nearly 700 years old. Local people still call them the umbrella trees.
 |
| It takes three people to hug the base of the umbrella tree. |
 |
| Management BoardNguyen Xi Temple said that these ancient trees existed before the temple was built. In 2015, through survey and inspection, the Vietnam Ornamental Plants Association determined that these trees were over 600 years old. |
 |
| All three bamboo trees have wide canopies and sturdy trunks, and the fruit can be eaten when ripe. |
 |
| The bark of the tree is roughened by the changes of time. |
 |
| In the dense area, the tree stands out with its large base and tall trunk. |
 |
| One of the three bamboo trees had its top broken by the storm but is still strong and green. |
 |
| The tree roots grow above the ground like a giant python. |
 |
| The tree roots stretch across the ground |
 |
| With ancient bamboo trees, Nguyen Xi temple (nearly 550 years old) becomes solemn and preserves many historical values in Nghe An land. |
