Spring day, step by step following the urge of the season of full life to return to Thanh land. Thanh land converges all types of terrain, starting from the Heaven Gate perched on majestic peaks, running to the Nghi Son mountains and rivers stretching out to the sea to sing a thousand-year-old song of joy. The beautiful scenery is like woven brocade and embroidered flowers on the shape of the land, enough to arouse the excitement and desire to experience of visitors.

The journey to discover Thanh Hoa this spring should start with the majestic, wild, but no less poetic and beautiful great forest. The ideal destination to experience the spring great forest must be Pu Luong - the green pearl of Thanh Hoa - a place whose beauty is praised by many tourists and compared to Sa Pa of the Northwest or Da Lat of the Central Highlands. Pu Luong covers an area of 17,662 hectares, through 2 highland districts of Quan Hoa and Ba Thuoc. With a system of evergreen tropical primeval forests, along with a rich flora and fauna in both quantity and variety, Pu Luong is an ideal destination for tourists who want to explore wild nature. On the endless green background, but in each season Pu Luong will have its own beauty. For example, in the summer, Pu Luong is like a painting highlighted by the shimmering yellow of terraced fields in the ripe rice season. In spring, Pu Luong's natural picture lights up with the new life of green buds, fragrant flowers and sweet fruits, a prosperous harvest, and spring songs by the fireside of a stilt house... Standing out in the middle of the forest are the majestic Pu Luong and Pu Rinh peaks, like natural walls, which have kept Pu Luong mysterious for ages. And hidden deep in Pu Luong are the "hanging gardens on high" - the villages of Son, Ba, Muoi, Kho Muong... - which still perfectly preserve the pristine natural scenery, in harmony with the life of the indigenous Thai community.

From the mountains, visitors can freely admire and experience the beauty of the majestic wilderness, and then go to the sea to feel the beauty of Thanh Hoa, "Four Seasons of Fragrance". Although it does not have the excitement and vitality of the summer sea, in return, the spring sea has a peaceful and quiet beauty like the gentle waves caressing people's footsteps. On the sand, which is no longer the burning heat of sunny summer days, visitors should slow down their steps to listen to the melodious sound coming from the ocean. To listen in the mysterious depths of the ocean, it seems that there is a sound of life urging people to reach out to the sea, to get rich from the sea. Try to face the endless vastness of the spring sea alone, before the beautiful scene of "water and sky are one color", people will see the smallness of the individual before the greatness of nature... Stretching along more than 100 km starting from Nga Son to Nghi Son, the journey to discover the beauty of Thanh Hoa's spring sea can start with Sam Son - a beautiful beach that converges all the ideal elements, can help people relax and rest most comfortably. Or tourists want to "hide" in a deserted beach, to listen to the desires of their hearts, to indulge themselves by putting aside all the troubles and worries of daily life and to recharge their positive energy, then go to Bai Dong (Nghi Son)...

...

Hasn't someone said that the essence of heaven and earth that creates mountains and rivers, no matter how beautiful, becomes meaningless when people do not see the beauty, value and possess it? Loving beauty is human nature, human need and conquering and enjoying all natural beauty is the eternal desire of humans. But then, after many expensive lessons from the process of "excessive" conquest, people finally realized that, along with conquest, humans must live in harmony with nature and above all, must respect nature. Inherently, nature has its own language to affirm its power, value, beauty and attractiveness. And above all, nature is a priceless gift that nature has painstakingly created to bestow upon humans. In turn, humans must protect nature as they protect the key to the sustainable life of human society itself.

The journey to experience the majestic and beautiful nature of Thanh land is also the journey to find the original beauty of nature, or to find the true values of nature. And then, consider it as a wonderful "spiritual therapy", helping people balance their lives, nurture passion, and awaken positive energy. At the same time, to know how to love and appreciate the beauty and value of nature - the true cradle of life.
