The “Kingdom” of Po mu located on the Truong Son mountain range in Quang Nam province has been recognized as a Vietnam Heritage Tree,  becoming an attractive tourist attraction for domestic and foreign tourists.

“ Po mu Kingdom ” is an old forest of more than 450 hectares, stretching over two communes A Xan and Tr’Hy (Tay Giang district, Quang Nam province) discovered by people in 2011. The population has 2,011 trees. Po mu is 300 to over 1,000 years old.

The forest, located at an altitude of about 1,500m above sea level, is the largest and most precious primeval forest in the South Truong Son. The indigenous Cotu people consider the forest as an “inviolable” treasure .

The people of Tay Giang believe that: “Forest remains in Tay Giang, forest is lost in Tay Giang”. Therefore, the local government always propagates people to protect the forest, develop the forest, and bring in income for people through the development of tourism from the Po mu population .

This “instrumental” tree population has been recognized as a Vietnam Heritage Tree and is becoming an attractive tourist attraction. Po mu was included in the Vietnam Red Book in 1996.
