Announcing information on ancient mai forest in Non Mai-Song Han area, Quang Tri

The area has Non Mai-Mai Linh mountains.

Accordingly, the ancient mai forest has more than 300 trees, located in the primeval forest of the Quang Tri Province Special-use Forest Management Board. The largest mai tree trunk diameter is about 60cm with an age of hundreds of years, growing scattered in an area of ​​several hectares. The mai roots are rough, the bark is covered with moss, some trees are curved, some are straight.

The ancient apricot tree sprouts and blooms.

Along with that, there are also many young apricot trees, less than 10cm in diameter, growing well under the forest canopy at an altitude of about 300m above sea level. The road to the apricot forest requires wading through streams and climbing mountains, which is quite arduous. The departure time to experience the apricot forest and return is within one day.

Filled with yellow apricot forest.

The ancient apricot forest is blooming near the end of the season, still creating a wild, charming beauty, filled with yellow and young green of apricot blossoms in the middle of the forest.

According to Mr. Truong Quang Trung, a few years ago, the unit discovered this ancient mai forest, but the information has not been published. In order to serve the development of the economy, society, and experiential tourism, now publishing information about the discovery of the ancient mai forest will be a challenge for the protection work. Therefore, Mr. Trung suggested that local authorities need to coordinate better with the Quang Tri Province Special-Use Forest Management Board to preserve the safety of the rare ancient mai forest.

Cultural researcher Le Duc Tho, Deputy Director of the Center for Monuments and Museum Management of Quang Tri province, said that the ancient apricot forest above is located in the Non Mai-Song Han scenic complex. Non Mai Mountain (Mai Linh Mountain) is located on the right bank of the upper Thach Han River, in the Dong Tran and Dong Chan complex, north of Dong Che, south of Dong Che.

The area is home to many ancient apricot trees with young green buds.

The ancient apricot tree makes Non Mai mountain more valuable.

“Non Mai Mountain, along with Thach Han River, the main dragon vein of the entire Quang Tri region, is a symbol of the country, the mountains and rivers, the sacred land, the sacred energy, and the culture of Quang Tri. The existence of the ancient mai forest makes the scenic spot even more unique and rare,” Mr. Le Duc Tho affirmed.

Quang Tri province's special-use forest management board waded through streams and crossed mountains to reach the ancient apricot forest.

The pair of mountains and rivers chosen as cultural symbols belong to the Vietnamese people and Vietnamese culture, defined and honored by the Vietnamese people. The official shaping process began many centuries ago, when the capital - the administrative and political center of Quang Tri was established on the banks of the Thach Han River.
