The Great Forest Blooms

This season, wandering along the roads to the highlands of Quang Nam, everywhere you can easily see flowers blooming with breathtaking beauty. The red cotton flower is a symbol and is present in many villages of Quang Nam. But perhaps the road along the Vu Gia riverbank in Dai Loc district is where the red cotton flowers leave the most stirring impression.

From the “lonely cotton trees” standing tall at the foot of Ha Nha bridge (Dai Hong commune), near Ha Tan wharf (Dai Lanh commune)… then upstream towards An Diem (Dai Hung commune) there is a strip of cotton trees blooming bright red in a corner of the sky.

Every March, many people make an appointment to go to Dai Loc to capture poetic and romantic photos by the old riverbank, thinking about the past.

Perhaps that is also a type of trend that Mr. Le Tan Thanh Tung - Deputy General Director of VITRACO Tourism Transport Joint Stock Company believes will "reign" in 2025 - traveling to find things that belong to memories and nostalgia.

Recently, the DT609 road along the Vu Gia River has become more bustling with tourists when on the mountain side there is the Dong Giang Heaven Gate Eco-tourism Area. Not only the season of the cotton flowers, going further into the forest, during this time, visitors will also be able to admire the season of Aposo flowers blooming scattered on the hillsides.

In particular, the Trang flower has become an impressive highlight in the tourist area. Many visitors are stunned for a long time by the Trang flower tree blooming an attractive patch of orange next to the suspension bridge and the babbling stream.

The further you go towards the great forest, the more enchanting the flower seasons of the mountains and forests become. Around the end of March and the beginning of April, those who love to “travel” in the highlands of Quang Nam will be lost in the cherry blossom season all over Hien - Giang (present-day Dong Giang, Tay Giang, Nam Giang).

The most remote flower season for tourists is on the top of A-ruung A-choóh (Tay Giang). At an altitude of more than 2,000m above sea level, the rhododendron forest is in full bloom, bringing the proud, wild beauty of the Truong Son mountain range.

Mr. Arat Blui - Vice Chairman of Tay Giang District People's Committee said that Tay Giang owns a unique system of resources to develop green tourism, of which the most magnificent is the azalea flower complex - a "treasure" of nature bestowed upon Tay Giang in particular and Quang Nam in general. Through many surveys, the district has been creating stops and planning traffic routes so that tourists can access this area more conveniently.

Waiting to integrate with tourism

As the trend of nature tourism is becoming popular, flower seasons are a valuable “asset” to stimulate tourism and attract visitors. In recent years, the midland and mountainous areas of the North of our country have been exploiting this resource very well.

“Ha Giang buckwheat flower season”, “Moc Chau white plum flower season”, “Rhododendron flower season on Fansipan peak”… have become famous brands, attracting tourists from near and far to come across remote mountains to admire.

In Quang Nam, the integration of typical native flowers into festivals to create an impression to attract visitors is gradually being implemented but has only stopped in the east. We can mention the festival "Tam Ky - Sua flower season" or the festival "Cu Lao Cham - red parasol flower season".

It is a bit awkward to compare the scale of flower seasons in the mountains of Quang Nam with the midlands and mountainous areas of the North. However, if there are appropriate plans and calculations, the locality can completely create flower hills and flower roads to become a highlight to attract tourists to the West.

Recently, the Kon Tum provincial government has set a goal of planting 1 million more cherry blossom trees in Mang Den by the end of 2025 to turn this tourist destination into a "cherry blossom land" of Vietnam.

Anyone passing by the Dong Ram community-based tourist village (Thanh My town, Nam Giang) in this spring weather will see scattered blooming flowers. If there were more flowers around the village, the village at the foot of the mountain would surely be breathtakingly beautiful.

And not only Dong Ram, many other villages in the highlands of Quang Nam, if harmoniously decorated with typical flower seasons, will become much more attractive in the eyes of tourists. And now, the "lonely flower seasons" in the Truong Son range still gently bloom, waiting for tourists who love mountains and forests to pass by and make a date...
