In 1970 Professor Vu Cong Hau (late director of the Industrial and Fruit Crop Institute) and his colleagues discovered lots of wild lychee trees in Tamdao (Vinhphuc province) and Tuyenhoa (Quangbinh province) forests. A Vietnamese legend also recounts that one of Vietnamese Kings of the Mai Dynasty once offered lychee fruits, which were regarded as precious fruit of Viet Nam, to the Emperor of China.
