Ngo Son mountain is red with wild flowers

(GLO)- At the end of October, when the Gia Lai plateau entered the dry season, the slopes of Ngo Son mountain (Bien Ho commune) suddenly lit up with a fiery red wild flower. Clusters of climbing flowers embraced the canopy of ancient pine trees, one after another, dyeing the mountainside dark.

The wild climbing flower grows in the middle of the forest, clinging to the tops of tall trees, reaching out to the sunlight. Each cluster of flowers blooms brightly like phoenix flowers on the mountainside. Looking from the Ngo Son field, the red color seems to decorate the mountainside, signaling the arrival of the wild flower season.

Ngo Son Mountain, also known as Windy Hill, was once a military base during the resistance war. Looking down from the top of the mountain, Ngo Son rice fields look like a golden autumn painting, on the opposite side is the majestic Chu Nam range, considered the "western roof" of the Pleiku plateau.

Halfway up the mountain there is a small lake, this is also where the flowers bloom the most, reflecting on the water surface creating a poetic scene in the middle of the mountains and forests.

Mr. Huynh Tan Duong, a resident living at the foot of the mountain since 1968, said: This land used to be a primeval forest, but after many decades it was covered with pine forests, becoming a tourist route in the West of Pleiku, attracting tourists every time the wild flowers are in season.
