The communal house of Quan Gia village, Yen So commune (Hoai Duc district, Hanoi) has been ranked as a national historical and cultural relic since 1994. In this old house, there are 3 trees with hundreds of years old. When asked about the longevity of the three trees, the elderly all shook their heads and said: “From the time we were little, the tree was tall and lush, no one knew when it was planted”.

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Ky, who used to work as a craftsman from Quan Gia communal house, said: “In recent years, wood has been priced well, many people come to ask to buy it, there are also people who come to steal. About 4 years ago, a tree saw Unified auction of more than 8 billion, that money is used to maintain the Quan Gia family. 

About 6-7 years ago, a large branch of a tree near the road was stolen. Yen So commune then set up a police station with local people to protect 3 rare and precious trees of three hundred years old.
