This season, the hillsides of Pa Tong 2 village are again filled with purple color. Fragrant flower hills bloom, stretching along the mountainside, softly swaying in the wind. Purple color covers the space, blending into the clouds, creating a scene that is both pristine and peaceful, poetic.
Looking back from afar, the hill of flowers is fragrant like a purple silk strip stretching across the mountainside. Approaching closer, each tiny flower bush vibrates, emitting a gentle fragrance. The early morning sunlight shines down, making the purple color even clearer. The green of the forest, the surface of the hydropower lake, surrounding it, makes the background for the natural picture even more vivid.
Stepping on the flower road, visitors feel like they are lost in a peaceful land. Every angle can become a beautiful check-in spot.
From the hill, looking far away is the gently winding Da River. Further away, Son La Hydropower Plant stands majestically in the great forest, connecting the beauty of nature with human imprints.
Ms. Pham Thi Tham (To Hieu ward) shared: "I really like taking photos and love beautiful flower seasons. Knowing that Pa Tong 2 soursop blooms, I go immediately. Beautiful scenery, fresh air, taking many satisfactory photos".
Not as noisy as famous tourist destinations, Pa Tong 2 is attractive with its simplicity. Fresh space, cool mountain wind, and the sound of wild birds harmonizing with the colors of flowers create a feeling of relaxation.
This is a suitable destination for those who love nature, like to explore and seek peace.
According to Mr. Ngo Manh Tung, a photographer in Muong La, the best time to visit and take photos is from 6 am to 10 am or from 3 pm to 6 pm.
Gentle light helps the color of flowers on photos to be more beautiful. Visitors can organize light picnics on the hill, but need to maintain hygiene, do not litter, do not pick flowers, break branches" - Mr. Tung shared.
Mr. Song A Hau, Secretary of the Party Cell cum Village Head of Pa Tong 2, said that sage flowers begin to bloom at the end of February every year. The most beautiful and bustling is the beginning of March, when the purple color covers the hillside of more than 3ha. The village does not collect entrance tickets and is always ready to welcome visitors to take photos and experience.
In recent years, Pa Tong 2 sage flower hill has become increasingly widely known, not only as a check-in point but also contributing to promoting the image of Muong Bu, Son La and opening up opportunities for community tourism development.
In the great mountains of Son La, the purple color of Pa Tong 2 fragrant sage flowers still quietly blooms - gentle but attractive, peaceful but full of vitality, leaving visitors with many unforgettable aftertastes.
