Kim Lien dormitory area (Dong Da district, Hanoi) has existed for nearly 60 years and is one of the old, long-standing dormitories of Hanoi. Here, there are many old and old trees growing through the houses of the people, posing many dangers in the rainy season.

Kim Lien dormitory area (Dong Da, Hanoi) is one of the oldest and oldest dormitories in the capital. Here, dozens of houses have old trees growing through the house, quite unique and fancy. This unique and unique architecture probably exists only here with about a dozen houses with trees growing on the premises. People here have long lived with this image, many families have customized the old trees located on the premises of the house into a place to hang furniture and decorate for living. The big, rough trunks of 2-3 people hug, the canopy spreads like giant umbrellas to protect the houses here. Restaurants and shops take advantage of trees to become an ideal place to do business. Many houses have fenced around the tree, turning the old trees into a familiar “member” of the family. However, when the rainy season comes, the households are afraid of the big tree branches falling down, cracking the wall and damaging the house. On hot sunny days, these green trees are like giant umbrellas creating shade, helping to cool down the old dormitory houses here. When repairing and renovating these houses, people have “depended” on the position of the mother-of-pearl tree, designing the corrugated iron roof to make room for the tree to grow and create shade for the house.
