This sui tree is located behind the 5 Thai temples, right in front of the tomb of King Le Thai To, creating a natural beauty for the relic and adding to the solemnity of this sacred place. According to the measurement results, the sui tree is about 40 m high, 1.13 m in diameter, healthy, with lush green branches and leaves.
