The persimmon tree laden with fruit right next to the stone fence and the yin-yang tiled roof in Lo Lo Chai village, Lung Cu commune has become a crowded check-in spot since the beginning of November. Every weekend, tourists line up to take photos, causing frequent traffic jams on the small road. Many people jokingly call this “the most miserable persimmon tree in Vietnam”.
Highlights: a corner of the house with rammed earth walls, stone walls and a bunch of red roses
The persimmon tree is located in the SEEME accommodation area. The homestay owner, Ms. Linh, said that she brought the tree from Ha Giang to plant in 2023 to decorate the space of the ancient house. The idea is to place the tree close to the stone fence, so that the red color of the fruit stands out against the mossy wall and the yin-yang tiled roof.
“From the first days of building this accommodation, I have cherished the idea of planting some familiar native trees such as peach, pear, plum, persimmon or wind chime to create a unique mark. As for the persimmon tree, I deliberately placed it close to the stone fence, because I imagined the day when the clusters of red fruit would stand out against the mossy wall and the ancient earthen house behind would be very beautiful,” Ms. Linh shared.
The popularity of the persimmon tree quickly turned the small path in front of the house into a “hot spot” every weekend. The scene of queuing and jostling to take photos happened regularly, causing noise and local congestion.
Behave civilly when checking in
Besides the joy of getting attention for their destination, the homestay owner admits that fame comes with inconveniences: crowds affect the movement of guests and neighbors, some people enter the house without permission, sit on the stone fence, climb trees or pick fruit.
“This affects the movement of homestay tourists and the surrounding area. Many people jostle and push each other to take photos or gather and laugh until late at night. Some people even arbitrarily open the door to enter the house, sit on the stone fence, climb trees or pick fruit to try, causing insecurity and affecting the beauty. I hope that everyone comes to take souvenir photos in an orderly and civilized manner, so that the persimmon tree can still feel happy because it suffers in the media and not in real life,” Linh told Ngoi Sao.
Tips for visitors: go on weekdays or choose quiet times to limit waiting; line up in an orderly manner; do not climb or pick fruit; keep quiet after dark; respect the privacy of the host and the community.
