(Fatherland) - A 500-year-old gallstone tree located in the Ky Anh Tunnels historical relic site in Quang Nam has just been recognized as a "Vietnam Heritage Tree".
The ceremony to announce the decision to recognize the more than 500-year-old rội mật tree in Thạch Tân village, Tam Thăng commune, Tam Kỳ city (Quảng Nam) as a Vietnamese Heritage Tree was recently held by the People's Committee of Tam Kỳ city.
Representatives of the Department of Nature Conservation and Biodiversity ( Ministry of Agriculture and Environment ) awarded the certificate of recognition as a Vietnamese Heritage Tree to the rội mật tree at Ky Anh Tunnel (Thach Tan village, Tam Thang commune, Tam Ky city).
Mr. Tran Trung Hau - Vice Chairman of Tam Ky City People's Committee said that the recognition of the rội mật tree as a Vietnamese Heritage Tree is not only a source of pride for the people of Tam Ky city in particular but also a testament to the efforts in the process of protecting nature, preserving ecological values and cultural heritage in Quang Nam in general.
According to Mr. Hau, the rội mật tree not only has historical value, but also has important significance in maintaining ecological balance, contributing to creating green landscapes and raising public awareness about nature protection.
A 500-year-old honey tree located in the Ky Anh Tunnels historical relic site in Quang Nam has just been recognized as a "Vietnam Heritage Tree".
The rội mật tree in Thạch Tân village is over 500 years old, located in the historical relic of Kỳ Anh Tunnels. The tree has a base circumference of 2.7m and is over 26m high. According to local people, in the past, this rội mật tree was a place where people rested after farming hours and participated in cultural activities. During the resistance war against French colonialism, the rội mật tree was a place to practice the "elimination of illiteracy" movement.
During the resistance war against the US, guerrillas often climbed up to observe the enemy's march to signal our troops to escape through the creeks and from there go down to the tunnels to hide. Because the rôi mật tree is tall in the middle of the swamp, the forest trees are low, so it has to withstand many bombs and artillery fire from the enemy. However, the tree still stands firm like the steadfast hearts of the people of Tam Ky.
Today, the rôi mật tree and Ky Anh tunnels are places of visit for many people to better understand a difficult but glorious period of the nation...
