7km west of Tam Ky city, Phu Ninh irrigation lake (Tam Dai commune, Phu Ninh district) has recently suddenly attracted visitors again through many posts on social networks. And, the highlight lies in the "lonely" tree with lush leaves but "alone" in the middle of the lake.

According to locals, many years ago, a “lonely” tree was planted on this mound of earth. Through many seasons of rain, sun, storms and floods, the tree’s shape remains majestic, with a strong vitality. Although people have planted other trees next to it, only this tree has survived sustainably.

In winter, the water level rises but cannot submerge the tree roots. In summer, the water level recedes, leaving the tree bare and still associated with the childhood of shepherd children. Today, the tree still retains many moments with young people eagerly coming to visit and take pictures.

From Da Nang City, Ms. Vu Hong Thanh (born in 1992, from Hai Duong province) and her friends visited Phu Ninh Lake for tourism. Ms. Thanh said: “I am extremely impressed with this new tourist destination, pristine and romantic. I see that most young people come here out of curiosity because they want to experience a peaceful and unique landscape. People find a connection with nature and relieve stress after tiring days of work and study.”

However, as the co-founder of the Da Nang Zero-Waste Community project, Ms. Thanh also expressed concern about the environmental issues here. The proliferation of shops and stalls, the lack of waste collection points, and the lack of awareness among some tourists regarding maintaining general hygiene are gradually detracting from the aesthetic appeal of this spontaneously developed tourist destination.

The scenery around Phu Ninh Lake is most picturesque at sunset, but it also poses a risk of drowning for children, despite warning signs posted by authorities.

The children were carefree, wading in the water despite a sign nearby warning, "Drowning incidents frequently occur here"...
