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,
