Yellow Flowers: A Captivating Sight at Lung Pa Pass
Rows of stunning yellow daisies, globally recognized as the Mexican sunflower or tree marigold, have become an irresistible attraction for countless travelers journeying through Lung Pa pass in Lang Son province's Van Quan district.
Winter is a great time for tourists to pay a visit to the Lung Pa pass as they will have the chance to view the region covered with the famous yellow flowers.
Dã quỳ is a member of the daisy family and can also be found in various localities with a cool climate such as in Son La and Lang Son provinces, as well as the Central Highlands region.
It is said that the French grew dã quỳ in the 1930s. For many years, it was considered to be a type of wild plant and was therefore regularly uprooted. But since 2015, locals began to let them grow as the flowers proved popular among tourists who would often come back to see them.
The Mexican sunflowers are in bloom at this time of year.
They are a symbol of faithful love, energetic vitality, pride, and resilience.
When exactly they bloom changes a little bit each year, depending on the weather conditions, but it is usually between October and the end of December.
