The monsoon winds signal the arrival of the dry season, which is also the time when the first wild sunflowers of the season show off their colors and fragrance. Wild sunflowers also have many different names such as: sunflower, mountain sunflower, wild sunflower, Mexican sunflower, Nitobe daisy….
This is a wildflower originating from Mexico, first brought to Da Lat by the French, and then widely grown in plantations in Lam Dong province as well as provinces in the Central Highlands.
Although I have traveled to the Central Highlands dozens of times to see wild sunflowers, my group of friends and I have never felt bored. Not far from Bao Loc City, entering Di Linh District, on both sides of the road, many bushes and patches of wild sunflowers with a golden color began to appear, brightening up the vast sky.
Arriving in Duc Trong district, the wild sunflowers are even denser. The scenery on both sides of the road is like a colorful painting. On Highway 725 starting in Da Lat city, ending with Highway 721 in Da Teh town, Da Teh district, Lam Dong province, we conquered extremely spectacular mountain passes such as Ta Nung pass, Con O pass... or immersed ourselves in the immense space of coffee plantations laden with ripe fruit and bright yellow wild sunflowers on both sides of the road.
In the Central Highlands, there are many areas where wild sunflowers appear, like this road, almost every section is covered with endless yellow. Perhaps for the local people, wild sunflowers in bloom are a normal sight.
But for tourists from far away, seeing the wild flowers of the mountains and forests in full bloom is an extremely interesting feeling. Countless pictures with wild sunflowers, to “mark” the identity of the land they have set foot on…
Recently, in Gia Lai province, the Wild Sunflower Week - Chu Dang Ya Volcano was held, attracting thousands of visitors. This is an event to promote the image, introduce the tourism potential, culture, and hospitable people of Gia Lai. The image of wild sunflowers associated with Chu Dang Ya Volcano - one of the 10 most beautiful craters in the world voted by the British Magazine, has become the tourism brand of Gia Lai.
