Binh Phuoc province is famous for its vast rubber plantations. The red basalt soil and suitable climate have contributed to Binh Phuoc's title as the "rubber capital".
When the rubber forest changes its colors
Following in the children's footsteps, I walked along the long, misty red dirt road, golden leaves glistening in the wind as they drifted down the branches. The children's clear laughter shattered the quiet atmosphere of the vast rubber forest, which was in the season of changing leaves. The golden leaves carpeted the ground beneath my feet, making me feel as if I had wandered into a dreamy realm of trees and foliage, a place only found in stories from some faraway land.
Heritage•11/02/2025Located more than 100km from Ho Chi Minh City, the rubber forest in Binh Long town offered me a novel experience of the changing colors of nature. Dating back to the early 20th century, besides planting, harvesting, supplying raw materials, and providing services related to the rubber industry, this forest of over 10,000 hectares also plays a crucial role in purifying the air and filtering dust from the surrounding major cities.
Every year, the leaves of the rubber trees turn yellow and then change color from around December until the end of March, when the forest is once again covered in green. During this time, the air in Binh Phuoc is cool, and early morning mist hangs in the air.
