Treasures of Cat Tien

(Dong Nai) - In a world where phone notifications never stop ringing, have you ever wondered: How long has it been since you truly breathed in the fresh air amidst lush green nature, and relaxed from the work grind? Today, let's take a "Day trip..." and leave behind the hustle and bustle of the city to return to the verdant forests, where "treasures" are waiting to be awakened.

We live in a world faster than our thoughts. But at Cat Tien National Park, time seems to stand still. In episode 14 of the "A Day's Journey..." series, MCs Dieu Hien and Minh Tuyet will lead viewers into a space where all electronic devices become meaningless. Instead, your hearing will be filled with the calls of birds in the high canopy, your sense of smell will be immersed in the characteristic damp earth scent of the tropical forest, and your sense of touch will be soothed by the mossy layers of time.

More than just a sightseeing tour, this is a journey to unravel the secrets of nature with Mr. Bui Quoc Vy, a staff member of Cat Tien National Park. Viewers will have the opportunity to see the 400-year-old Banyan tree, a towering living entity that has stood for centuries, reminding humanity of its insignificance before nature. They will also witness the Banyan tree, a symbol of love and loyalty, carrying mysterious stories and showcasing the vibrant life of the forest's vegetation. And they will discover why Cat Tien is recognized as a World Biosphere Reserve – a "living sediment" of geology and biology.

The highlight of this trip was the exploration of Bau Sau. Few people know that beneath the calm surface of the water lies the presence of more than 1,000 freshwater crocodiles (Siamese crocodiles). This is not just a statistic, but proof of a conservation miracle.

After more than 20 years of perseverance, when humans learned to step back and give way, nature composed its own symphony of rebirth. Audiences will realize that in a forest, life can exist in many ways: quietly, powerfully, and with unwavering patience.

We invite viewers to join DNNRTV to further appreciate the greenness of the forest, to cherish the values ​​that nature has bestowed upon the land of Dong Nai, and to spread the message of protecting the vast green forests.
