The Central Highlands I love, familiar and strangely peaceful

If anyone has ever been to the Central Highlands, walked in the pine forests, poetic flower forests, watched the white water with the roar of the majestic waterfall in the middle of the Central Highlands or wandered through the vast tea fields, coffee plantations, freely admired and immersed in the laden avocado gardens, or intoxicatedly inhaled the aroma of durian, interacted and talked with the people here... they cannot deny that the scenery here is beautiful, life here is peaceful and the people here are gentle and hospitable.

For those reasons, author Pham Quynh Nhu has sent all her thoughts to the legendary Central Highlands through the photo series "The Central Highlands I love, familiar and strangely peaceful". Vietnam.vn invites you to visit the Central Highlands. A Central Highlands with majestic forests, a symbol of the steadfast spirit in the resistance war and the will to overcome difficulties in the cause of construction and development. The photo series was submitted by the author to the Photo and Video Contest "Happy Vietnam - Happy Vietnam", organized by the Ministry of Information and Communications.

In the preface of the photo series, author Pham Quynh Nhu shared: The famous French ethnologist Jacques Dournes once wrote: "If you have to understand to be able to love the Central Highlands, you have to love to be able to understand". It's strange why "The Land of Magic" makes me love it so much. A beautiful natural scene of wonderful creation in Vietnam, blending into every small detail to sketch a vivid and mysterious picture. It's a moment when people can't see anything and can only feel the intense vitality of nature where our hearts are strangely peaceful. If you're too tired in the middle of the city, let's put aside the hustle and bustle and come to the magical land of Lam Dong's Central Highlands! The place that creates "brown pearls" with a bitter, fragrant and strong flavor, they draw us into a wonderful taste adventure. You are the start of a new day, swinging with me every sleepless night. And it is also the birthplace of new, special, soft, and fatty avocado varieties. Or come to the "Durian Capital" specialty that only the fertile basalt land in the Central Highlands of Vietnam can create a unique aroma, an attractive sweet and rich taste, and a rich, fatty taste. Proud to be a Vietnamese person, a child of the Central Highlands, one of the beauties of the country to enjoy and enjoy the wonderful flavors and the strangely peaceful magic of this land. Close your eyes in the bustling city and wake up in the remote mountains, where the sunlight is like a friend, the wind is like a confidant and the trees are like songs!
