Like a banyan tree, the roots and branches of Gian Gua are tangled in one large mesh of nature, hiding a popular shrine where a local charity worker is widely worshiped for her past work.
After this, we rode our bicycles to a tropical fruit garden. Local house people are all too pleased to show us the literal fruits of his labor and will present us with some colorful and sweet products for tasting, a highlighted part of Mekong Della tourism.
