With its lush green spaces, fresh air, and numerous recreational activities, Zin's Farm (Nhao 1 village, Ia Kênh commune, Pleiku city) is always packed with visitors during holidays who come to sightsee, have fun, experience, and relax. In particular, the farm's resort (a camping-style accommodation) is always fully booked, thanks to its agricultural experiences and opportunities to explore the unique culture and cuisine of the Jrai and Bahnar people.

Leaving behind the hustle and bustle of city life and the pressures of work and life, this holiday, Ms. Vo Ngoc Tram (Ghenh Rang Ward, Quy Nhon City, Binh Dinh Province) and her family traveled to Pleiku City to visit relatives and experience the resort services at Zin's Farm.

Ms. Tram enthusiastically said, “I really love the cool weather of Pleiku City and the lush green space of this farm. The view here is beautiful, and there's a separate play area for children, so adults also have their own space to enjoy. Especially, every evening, the farm organizes gong and traditional dance performances, which are very fun and exciting. It helps me recharge before returning to my busy work.”

According to Mr. Pham Van Ha, Deputy Director of Ia Kenh Agricultural and Tourism Cooperative: During this holiday, we welcome hundreds of visitors every day for sightseeing, recreation, and relaxation. In particular, the resort with 10 bungalows, 6 Mongolian tents, and 10 camping cabins is always fully booked.

“During this period, we have many promotional programs and offer tours to experience agricultural production, and gong performances with the gong ensemble of Nhao 1 village, which have been very well received by tourists. In the future, the Farm plans to organize regular gong performances every Saturday evening to give tourists the opportunity to experience Central Highlands culture and create income for local artisans,” Mr. Ha shared.

Similarly, Moc An Nhien Farmstay & Café (Binh Giang village, Hneng commune, Dak Doa district) also attracted a large number of tourists and locals who came to visit and relax during the holidays.

Instead of going to popular tourist destinations like Da Lat (Lam Dong province) or Mang Den (Kon Tum province) to enjoy his holidays, Le Hieu Kien (Group 10, Ia Kring ward, Pleiku city) chose Moc An Nhien Farmstay & Café for a relaxing getaway and to breathe in the fresh air.

Hieu Kien said: “Moc An Nhien is a fun place to visit, not too far from the city for recreation and relaxation. The space here is very peaceful, the air is fresh and green, very suitable for relaxation and rejuvenation. I really like it, not only during holidays but if I have time I will visit again.”

According to Danh Tay To, an employee at Moc An Nhien Farmstay & Café: In celebration of National Day on September 2nd, the café has hung a red flag at the entrance and decorated the entire premises with the national flag, expressing pride and joy in welcoming this important national holiday. Over the past few days, the café has been fully booked, with all reservations made in advance. Guests mainly come from provinces and cities such as Da Nang, Binh Dinh, and the Mekong Delta. In addition, there is also a large number of walk-in visitors coming to drink coffee, check in, and take souvenir photos.

Meanwhile, Hon Kong Farm (An Binh Ward, An Khe Town) welcomes hundreds of visitors from within and outside the province every day for picnics and recreation. Hon Kong Farm boasts a spacious area surrounded by fields, hills, and mountains; it has many recreational areas such as flower gardens, production areas, sheep farms, ostrich farms, rabbit farms, turkey farms, and dozens of attractive miniature landscapes to meet the needs of all ages for fun and photography.

This year's National Day holiday on September 2nd lasts for four days, so Mr. and Mrs. Hoang Ngoc Thanh (Ghenh Rang ward, Quy Nhon city) chose Gia Lai as their destination for fun and relaxation.

Mr. Thanh shared: “I, along with three other families, traveled up the An Khe pass to visit and experience Kon Bong Waterfall and Bat Cave Waterfall (Kbang district), and to relax, have fun, and visit some eco-tourism spots and historical and cultural relics in An Khe town. This was an opportunity for us to admire the beautiful scenery, the lush green mountains and forests, the peaceful countryside, and breathe the fresh air of the Tay Son Thuong Dao region. Another time, we will return to explore other famous scenic spots in Gia Lai.”

During this year's National Day holiday on September 2nd, Mac Phan Anh Nhu (Tan Hoa village, Tan An commune, Dak Po district) spent time with family and relatives and went with friends to various entertainment venues in the district and An Khe town.

As mentioned: During the summer, my parents rewarded my sister and me with a week-long trip to Thua Thien-Hue province, so on National Day, September 2nd, my family organized a trip to the market and cooked our favorite delicious dishes. In addition, I went sightseeing with my classmates from 11th grade at Vo Waterfall on the Ba River, in Tan Phong village (Tan An commune); took photos and checked in next to the float shaped like the national flag on Le Hong Phong street; and enjoyed the sunset at Hon Kong Farm.

"Being with my parents, relatives, and friends to celebrate Independence Day in a relaxed and meaningful way has helped me recharge with positive energy to start the new school year," Như said happily.

According to statistics on visitors coming to Hon Kong Farm for recreation and picnics, Mr. Nguyen Tho Tung, owner of Hon Kong Farm (An Binh ward, An Khe town), estimated: “From August 31st to September 3rd, there have been over 500 visitors from within and outside the province coming for picnics and recreation. This is a motivation for us to continue renovating and adding more ornamental plants and beautiful scenery to meet the needs and attract visitors from all over.”
