About 20 years ago, was the sugarcane and eucalyptus garden of Mr. Tu Sang’s family. But it did not bring high economic efficiency, so he decided to renovate and grow bamboo to improve his family’s economy. Vietnamese bamboo has a very strong vitality, but in order for the tree to be green and grow, it also needs to be cared for. In the dry season, every 2–3 days, he watered the plants once. Every day he regularly goes to the garden to prune branches, remove fallen bamboo leaves and then compost them to fertilize bamboo roots. The bamboo road leading to the bamboo-lined ecological area is poetic and rustic in the West, and it is also the land his family donated to the State to build a rural road.
