(Baonghean.vn) - Anyone who has ever set foot in Khe Ran village (Bong Khe commune, Con Cuong district) will be amazed and interested by the giant banyan tree that almost covers a corner of the village. Another surprise is that from May to July every year, the tree blooms and bears fruit, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
 |
| According to Mr. Vi Cong Chuong, Secretary of the Khe Ran Village Party Cell, from the first day of the village's establishment, when the first household reclaimed land and opened a hamlet here, the banyan tree was already standing tall here. The size of the tree at that time was as big as it is now. |
 |
| Up to now, after more than 100 years, the banyan tree still provides shade and is associated with more than 160 households in the village. The tree trunk has a diameter of nearly 3m, and its shade spreads far and wide. |
 |
| The season of changing buds and blooming flowers shine bright pink.. |
 |
| It is known that the banyan tree also bears fruit. At the end of each season, birds gather here to eat the fruit, singing loudly throughout the sky. |
 |
| Because it is hundreds of years old, the tree trunk becomes a cradle for many symbiotic plants. |
 |
| Through many historical ups and downs, the banyan tree still grows green as if to shelter and protect the village. |
