The man who works in the construction industry has coordinated with artisans throughout the country to transform rough logs, called Go lua (driftwood), into amazing artistic carvings and creations.
Go lua (driftwood) is the core of ancient trees that have died and been submerged in rivers for decades. Time and water erosion have made it difficult to distinguish the types of trees that are commonly called driftwood. This particular material is very hardy and never attacked by termites as well as resistant to the effects of weather.
The unique sculptures include 12 zodiac animals, Buddha statues, miniature gardens, and motorcycle models that have attracted many residents, and domestic and foreign visitors.
The outstanding artwork is a sculpture titled “Vietnamese Rural Landscape” made from monolithic wood. The painting set a Vietnamese record for the largest wooden carving measuring 24.5 meters long and two meters wide. It took six years to complete the artwork with images of rice fields, farmers scooping up water and catching fish, banyan trees, communal houses, “Dam cuoi chuot” (Rat's wedding) - a popular example of Vietnamese Dong Ho folk painting, and the daily life of people in the North, Central, and South regions of Vietnam.
