A centuries-old banyan at the village head—twisting aerial roots, a vaulted canopy and worn trunk offer dramatic textures and local life scenes. Best at golden hour (sunrise or late afternoon) for warm side-light; weekday mornings have fewer visitors. Easy street access in Long Biên, no formal entry fee; be respectful of any offerings.
