There is a miniature "steppe" as beautiful as a picture in the middle of the vast Dak Plo border.

VHO - A large, green, grassy area hidden in the border forest of Dak Plo commune has just been discovered by a group of young tourists, attracting strong attention on social networks. With its pristine landscape, cool climate all year round and fog covering the early morning, this place is likened to a "miniature steppe in the middle of the great western forest of Quang Ngai", promising to become an ideal destination for experiential tourism and community ecology if properly planned.

Early morning mist covers the Dak Plo grassland, covering the grassy hills with a thin layer of silk, creating a scene that is both magical and wild.

From the center of Dak Pek commune (Dak Glei district, old Kon Tum , now Quang Ngai province), the group of tourists crossed Lo Xo pass for about 20 minutes, then continued to roam for more than an hour by motorbike through winding dirt roads between coffee and cassava plantations of the local people.

To reach the steppe, visitors must follow trails and winding red dirt roads between fields and dense forests.

That arduous journey led them to a land never marked on a tourist map, a vast, flat grassland surrounded on all sides by vast primeval forests.

They pitched tents on the grassy slopes, lit a fire, and gathered around in the misty morning mist. Behind them was the forest, in front was a vast open valley. The scene did not require special effects; just standing still and breathing deeply was enough to make people silent with emotion.

“When we arrived, no one in the group said anything. We stood looking around and saw the mountains and forests opening up to welcome us, saw the mist drifting across the grass, and heard the wind breathing,” said Ngo Quyet, the leader of the group.

All visitors need to do here is stop, camp, boil water, watch the mist, listen to the birds singing and look at the blue sky curving along the mountain ridge.

The landscape here is like a plateau untouched by humans. The grassy hills are gentle and endless. The sky is high, the wind is calm. In the morning, the hills are covered with white mist, in the afternoon, the sunset turns red on every blade of grass. Everything is pristine and full of emotions.

With no phone signal or signs, this place is currently only accessible to those with a passion for exploration .

“This space is ideal for camping, trekking, and unplugged vacations. I believe many nature lovers will be fascinated when coming here,” Mr. Quyet added.

Mr. Ngo Quyet and his group of friends chose to camp overnight here to experience the feeling of “staying awake with nature”. At night, there is only firelight and a starry sky, no electricity, no internet, but enough to heal the soul.

At night, there is only the firelight and the starry sky. In the morning, the fog is as thick as smoke, creeping across the hillsides. And when the sun rises, the light spreads evenly, making the landscape come to life. Every moment can become a lifetime photo.

Dawn in Dak Plo grassland is the most magical moment. When the sun lifts the clouds, the grassy hills seem to awaken, reflecting pale yellow light in the thin morning mist.

Mr. Nguyen Van Vinh, Chairman of Dak Plo Commune People's Committee said: " We are really surprised when young people know and explore this area. This is a rare natural forest area, still in its original state. In the near future, the locality will conduct a field survey and at the same time make recommendations to superiors for appropriate directions if it is put into tourism exploitation."

According to Mr. Vinh, if there are organizations and individuals with enough capacity and enthusiasm, the locality is ready to cooperate to develop this place into an ecological and community destination, on the principle of protecting the forest and preserving local cultural identity.

Not just a destination, Dak Plo grassland is a place that makes people want to slow down, look up at the vast sky, and listen to the breath of the forest as if silently telling: "Come, to see that nature is still so magical."

Despite its potential for tourism development, access to Dak Plo grasslands is still difficult. There is no infrastructure, the access road depends on local farms, and there is no official tour guide service. However, because of that, this place still retains its wild, pure beauty like a “rough gem” waiting to be awakened.

With a cool climate and unique landscape, Dak Plo grassland can become an attractive destination for ecotourism, if properly planned and associated with the local community.

If planned sustainably, combined with the local community in environmentally friendly guiding, transportation, dining, and resort services, Dak Plo grassland can become a distinct destination on the tourist map in the West of Quang Ngai.
