"Hunting" clouds on Ham Thuan lake

Clouds hovering over the mountain tops, clouds hovering in the middle of the road… But the most interesting thing is that clouds, water vapor and morning dew blend together in the middle of Ham Thuan Lake in the early morning so that visitors can touch them. The feeling of “hunting” clouds in the sky of Binh Thuan is hard to describe…

Nature has endowed each land with its own characteristics, and sometimes those characteristics become advantages. For example, in Binh Thuan, Tuy Phong district has the sunniest and windiest area in the province, so that sun helps people grow branded grape trees. As for wind, there are wind power projects. In Bac Binh, in the middle of the sand "desert", Bau Trang lake has become an attractive tourist destination. In Tanh Linh, in the middle of the vast mountains and forests, there is the poetic Thac Ba waterfall... In particular, Ham Thuan Bac, the land from Dong Giang, La Da to Da Mi, has a mild climate influenced by the weather from the Di Linh plateau, so it often rains more here than other places. Especially in Da Mi commune, the temperature is always 4 degrees Celsius lower than the surrounding area, creating ideal resorts for tourists, especially urban visitors who, after days in crowded places with stuffy air, want to find a quiet place, fresh air with mountains, forests, immense lakes and rivers, Da Mi is the ideal destination...

I was quite surprised when Ngo Huynh Anh Tuan - Head of the Southern Representative Office of MEKONG - ASEAN Newspaper sent me a photo of "clouds covering the mountains and forests, covering the path that people take..." When sending the photo, Tuan did not caption it but asked me a riddle: Do you know of any place as beautiful as this in Binh Thuan? Although I am a local, the photo was so beautiful and strange that I was a bit taken aback. Luckily, Tuan later revealed that he was at Ham Thuan Lake, Da Mi (about 5 - 7 km from Da Mi Lake). Tuan said: I came here to interact with you guys, a few days ago some friends from Hanoi came here for a vacation and praised it so much that I went to try it but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful...

Coming to Da Mi this season, the rain is endless. Some days it rains all night, in the morning even though the rain has stopped, the space is covered with white clouds floating before your eyes. After a heavy rain, Da Mi has water vapor that accumulates into clusters, creating clouds that drift across the road. If you ride a motorbike, these clouds sometimes pass by your face, giving you a strange feeling. If you love romantic scenery, just sit on May and Gio hill in the morning around 5-7am, located right on Highway 55 (about 300m from Da Mi Commune People's Committee headquarters, from La Da intersection, in Da Tro village) and sip coffee, watching the clouds and sky before your eyes. On the other side is Ham Thuan - Da Mi hydroelectric reservoir, where mist - clouds and water vapor mix together to create all kinds of shapes depending on each person's imagination, very interesting. Around 6am, when the sun appears, the dawn light penetrates through the clouds, the scene becomes many times more beautiful. At this time, tourists start to “hunt” for clouds because there is enough light for colorful photos to be more beautiful… Da Mi is in fruit season, the durian, avocado, mangosteen, and macadamia trees are full of ripe, juicy fruit, giving off a strong aroma as if waiting for tourists to pick and enjoy…

In Binh Thuan, if tourists want to relax by the sea, from La Gi to Tuy Phong, there are beautiful beaches and many scenic spots to visit. And tourists who want to see "lakes - forests - waterfalls" and especially those who like to "hunt" clouds, come to Da Mi...
