The vast forest in March

Introducing the breathtaking images of the Central Highlands in March, captured by photographers Nguyen Van Thien and Hoang Viet, showcasing moments of harmony between land, sky, and people.

The March sky in the Central Highlands, a springtime of blue, seems even bluer with many festivals such as the elephant racing festival and the coffee festival... People from the Central Highlands who have gone far away often return to "Sleep in the longhouse by the fire / Listen to the village elders tell stories of the mountains and forests / Wear the loincloths and clothes my wife has woven for me / My feet sway to the rhythm of the gongs and drums"; or simply to meet: "The women carrying baskets on their backs / Carrying the season on their backs / Carrying the forest down to the town".

Spring in the highlands

Goodbye, sir.

Hello, bustling and crowded streets!

I have to go now.

Steppe and Spring

hoarse voice calling out

Return to the long, shimmering stream, return to the deep, dark river.

Why don't you come home with me?

Sleeping in the middle of the longhouse, sleeping by the fireplace.

Listening to the village elders tell stories of the mountains and forests.

Regarding the loincloths my wife had knitted for me...

Feet swaying to the rhythm of gongs and drums.

Screw the drainpipe, stay awake all night.

Listen to the spring breeze

Prairie fragrance

Central Highlands in March

Women carrying baskets on their backs

Carrying the seasons on my back

Bringing the forest down to the city.

March

The women still came down the mountain together.

They carried branches of wild orchids.

already blooming, currently blooming, and about to bloom

Season follows season

Clear and decisive

No longer drowning in thirst.

The women sang drunkenly.

March Melody
