(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. |

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 and lush as if to protect and shelter the village. |
