Admire the most vibrant pink grass season of the year in Da Lat.

When visiting Da Lat at the end of the year, tourists will be able to admire the hills covered in shimmering pink grass in the early morning mist, carpeting the ground beneath the green pine trees.

November is a beautiful time of year in Da Lat, with many factors that make it an attractive destination for tourists choosing the city of a thousand flowers at the end of the year. In early winter, the weather is dry and cool, and wildflowers bloom abundantly, such as snow grass (pink grass), foxglove, and wild sunflowers.

One of the wildflowers that attracts many tourists to Da Lat for photo opportunities is pink grass. This shrub grows abundantly across the hills and mountains in the Golden Valley, Bald Hill, Masara Hill, and other areas.

Golden Valley is located in Lat Dong village, Lat commune, Lac Duong district, about 15 km from the center of Da Lat city.

According to Nguyen Tuan Dung, a photography enthusiast who has lived in Da Lat for nearly 10 years, "To get the most impressive and valuable photos, you should come at 5-6 am when the sun is just rising, the gentle golden sunlight blending with the morning mist to create a unique and enchanting effect."

Early morning is the best time to capture the "snow grass" effect; the entire hillside looks like it's covered in snow because each blade of pink grass is filled with tiny dew drops. As the sun rises higher, the pink grass becomes more vibrant and colorful.

According to Mr. Tuan Dung: "Currently, tourists only need to find directions to Golden Valley on Google Maps; there are beautiful grassy hills just outside the valley area. There's no need to drive deep inside because this year the pink grass there is less abundant and not as beautiful as in the outer areas."

Parking outside the Golden Valley costs 5,000 - 10,000 VND. From early morning, the area is packed with cars lining both sides of the road, mostly couples and groups of friends coming to check in, take wedding photos, and commemorative photos.

The pink grass season, coinciding with the end of the year, is also when many couples look for places to take wedding photos, making the pink grass hills of Da Lat an ideal destination.

In recent years, tourists and locals in Da Lat have also had the opportunity to admire the beauty of pink foxtail grass. Taller and with much larger flowers, this wild plant blooms in early winter alongside pink grass and wild sunflowers. The foxtail grass has a gentle purplish-pink color, and its flowers resemble reeds but are smaller. Tourists can find hills covered in pink foxtail grass in Xuan Tho commune, east of Da Lat city, about 11 km from the city center.

Whether at dawn or dusk, the pink foxtail grass shimmers with a pink hue mixed with golden-orange sunlight, creating a natural backdrop for memorable photos.

Pink grass blooms in October and November, while pink foxtail grass blooms later, from late November to December. The blooming period is long, but the locations are very crowded with people taking photos every day, so visitors should plan early to check in during this year's grass season.
