When wild sunflowers begin to enter the last days of the season, Da Lat continues to evoke memories with its poetic and picturesque pink reed grass hills. December, when Da Lat is in winter, is also a beautiful time. most of the year, so the number of tourists flocking to this place is larger than usual.
Pink reed grass, also known as pink grass, is no longer strange to mountain town residents and tourists who love Da Lat. This is a type of reed grass that grows wild in barren lands and often blooms in winter.
This type of grass appears quite a lot in some mountain passes and cliffs in the “city of flowers. But the area with the highest concentration of pink reed grass is the hillside located in Tuy Son village, Xuan Tho commune.
Located about 13km from the night market, visitors follow Highway 20 to reach the pink grass hill. . Guests who have come here to experience said the road is very easy to walk. Even just need a smartphone to go to Google Map and search for the keyword “Xuan Tho Pink Grass” to get specific directions.
It is only a drought-resistant weed, but When the flowers bloom, the hillside simultaneously turns soft and smooth pink. Sometimes due to lack of sunlight they turn slightly purple. Every time a gentle breeze blows through the flower bed, it droopes down shimmering and seductively.
23-year-old Dao Khac Vu is from Dak Lak but has been attached to the land of Da Lat for more than 5 years. Currently, he lives right near the pink grass hill, so he witnesses every moment of change in this place.
“At the present time, when the wild sunflowers have faded, the pink reed grass hill is the destination tourism attracts the most tourists in Da Lat. Late November and early December is the best time to come here to take photos.
At first the grass hill is naturally beautiful, but when many young people come to take photos and videos and share them on social networks, the number of visitors increases. Congestion causes congestion. There are even customers with cars parked blocking the path, causing difficulties for people farming in the nearby area,” Mr. Vu said.
Because he wants to preserve the beauty of the area, Mr. Vu created a guide for visitors to follow the available path. Do not litter everywhere to avoid trampling, but the 23-year-old boy realized that “he could not do it alone”.
In the beginning, I gave out free mineral water to guests who came to take photos and garbage collection. But the situation of tourists not following the right path and arbitrarily trampling on the grass hills to take unique photos makes this place even more desolate. Although we know everyone wants to have beautiful photos, young people should raise awareness of each person to preserve the common thing,” Mr. Vu expressed.
At the present time, Mr. Vu said that most areas The grass hill was “disintegrated” because it was trampled too much. Even the “do not throw trash” sign was removed. He felt “regretful that one of nature’s attractive destinations was destroyed because of this caused by some unaware guests.”
Because he lives right next to this area, Mr. Vu really wants to contribute a small part in maintaining general hygiene. However, the most important thing is still each person’s awareness.
And in recent days, the video recording the moment the reed grass hill became ragged has been shared a lot on social networks. people expressed their sadness and regret.
“The reed grass hill has not yet faded but is about to lose its beauty. A hillside that was once so poetic now looks miserable. If the situation does not improve, this place will probably become a wild grass hill in just a few days,” commented Ms. Minh Anh, a young tourist from Ho Chi Minh City.
I just came here to take photos last November. At that time there were not many people so the grass hill was still very poetic. Just under a week has passed and this place has fallen apart so quickly,” an account named Huyen Anh shared.
