In some gardens, many ancient longan trees have unique and strange shapes and the trunks are so big that two people cannot hug them. According to the old men and women in this area, Mr. Truong Hung was the first person to bring two varieties of longan from China to plant on the sand dunes of Bac Lieu. Both varieties of longan are adapted to the soil, so they grow luxuriantly, produce large fruits, thin skin, crispy flesh, juicy and sweet. From there, the name Giong Nhan was born.

Many tourists said that they came to the longan garden because they wanted to see the appearance of the "old" longan trees, enjoy the delicious flavor of the fruit and immerse themselves in the peaceful natural scenery.

Ms. Le Huyen Tran - a Bac Lieu native living in Ho Chi Minh City, shared: "Every time I return to my hometown, my family and I go sightseeing and have fun in the ancient longan garden. I have the opportunity to work in Bac Lieu. I have also eaten longan grown in many other places, but the flavor of Bac Lieu longan is what I really remember.

In this area now, there are not only rare Su-bic and Tu-huyt longans that are hundreds of years old, but also golden rice longans with thicker, sweeter, more fragrant and crispy flesh than other longan varieties, considered the most delicious specialty of Bac Lieu.

Notably, recently, the Thanh Nhan variety appeared, successfully bred by Mrs. Tran Kieu (71 years old, also known as Mrs. Thanh), the owner of a large ancient longan garden in Giong Nhan A hamlet, Hiep Thanh commune, Bac Lieu city. The new famous delicious longan variety was named and grafted after Mrs. Thanh, so it is called Thanh Nhan. Currently, Thanh Nhan is favored by consumers, especially tourists.

The longan season in Giong Nhan area is usually in late June and early July of the lunar calendar. Longan trees not only bring economic benefits to the people in Giong Nhan but also have potential tourism values.

Coming here, visitors can not only enjoy the cool air but also enjoy the first longan fruits of the harvest season, but also bring back from their own experience, which will be a meaningful gift for family, relatives and friends. Not only that, the ancient longan garden full of fruit will be an ideal check-in point to capture wonderful moments with relatives and friends.
