Sau sau forest (also known as phong huong) in Huong Phung commune begins to change leaves near Tet. Leaves from green turn into many colors with seductive beauty.
No need to go far, just a journey up the mountain at the beginning of the year, visitors can touch the spacious natural space, where the fragrant wind stretches across the hillside, reflecting its shadow on the calm hydropower lake surface.
Each gentle breeze blowing through, leaves fluttering in the new sun, carrying the faint scent of the forest, creating a very unique peaceful feeling of the mountainous region.
Spring travel in the fragrant maple forest is a slow and relaxing experience. Some people choose to sit on a boat gliding gently among the waterlogged trees, admiring the colors of the leaves reflected on the blue lake surface.
Some groups of friends follow the trail to trek through the forest, walking and chatting, letting nature lead the way. In that space, laughter blends with the colors of spring in the mountains and forests, creating a vivid, joyful but not noisy picture.
The closer to the end of the year, the more fragrant the weather is, dyeing the entire mountainside red. When dawn rises, thin mist faintly appears among the forest trees, and when sunset falls, late afternoon sunlight shines golden on the lake surface, making the scenery magical. This is also the time when many tourists choose to camp, gather together, and welcome the moment of seasonal transition between heaven and earth.
What is special is that amidst the pristine beauty of the maple forest, the wind turbine blades on the top of Huong Phung mountain appear as the highlight of the new spring. The red and yellow colors of the forest blend with the green color of the mountains and the steady rotation of the wind turbine create a feeling of both familiarity and modernity, as a wish for a new year full of energy and prosperity.
