People in the area said that more than a decade ago, this place was just a dirt road. The king areca trees are about 15 years old, 10 meters high, growing in straight lines, shading the two sides of the road. (Photo: VN Express) |

There are almost no houses along the way. In addition to rice, local people also grow a lot of dragon fruit on both sides of the road. (Photo: VN Express) |
