The population of 5 Terminalia
Myriocarpa Henrila recognized as the Vietnamese Heritage tree is in Bua Phay
area, in lot 06, block 34, sub-zone 15. This is the bordering area of Doan Ket
and Dong Chum communes. These trees are over 200 years old, the largest tree
with a diameter of 11.1 m is over 600 years old, and the height of the tallest
tree is over 50 m. This Myriocarpa Henrila is often called as the magic Phay
tree by the local people. There are 2 routes through the forest to reach the
location of the population of the heritage trees. Route 1 starts from the
heritage tree stele in Tham Luong hamlet, Doan Ket commune with a length of 3.1
km; route 2 starts from Nhap hamlet, Dong Chum commune with a length of 4.5 km.
Currently, this route has been investigated by Phu Canh Nature Reserve,
surveying the route to discover and experience the trekking tourism.

Management Board of Phu Canh Nature Reserve set up an eco-tourism development
project to deploy eco-tourism routes and attractions, the resort in the area
assigned to manage according to the general policy of the locality. Thereby, it
has been creating conditions for the local people in the buffer zone to have
income from forests, from tourism and there is less impact on the special-use
forests.
