Roads that attract tourists during wild sunflower season

However, Lam Dong is still an attractive place for tourists every wild sunflower season, because the wild sunflower spaces create many levels of ecstatic, mesmerizing emotions...

Wild sunflower is a flower symbolizing simple, lasting and loyal love.

That was making carts with wheels made of thick and strong sunflowers; or kicking sunflowers from the flowers that bloomed first, which were tough and durable... Little girls who were more graceful had their parents make them a yellow wreath to shyly wear on their heads... When they were a little older, they didn't like to play and didn't dare to be graceful, but it was rare for a boy or girl to be indifferent to this endless, bewildering yellow color...

Then, when the brilliant yellow color of the flowers spread everywhere, every house had them, then the playful children would inevitably cough because they inhaled too much pollen; or the rashes would be too cold to bathe.
