On April 30, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Yen province organized a cross-country race to conquer the peak of Da Bia mountain (Dong Hoa town). The tournament gathered nearly 150 athletes from 22 units including localities, departments, businesses... in Phu Yen province to participate in the tournament.
The Da Bia Mountain Conquest Tournament was held on April 30.
In this tournament, athletes start from the foot of Da Bia mountain and finish at the top of the mountain, the competition distance is 2,280m, the mountain top is 706m above sea level, the terrain is natural stone and soil steps, relatively harsh.
Although the cross-country race was a great success, "traces" such as trash, plastic bottles, etc. were still left on Da Bia mountain for more than 4 days.
The banners after the contest were thrown away.
The people who cleaned up the trash left behind by the cross-country race were the Phu Yen Green Group. According to Mr. Le Quy Tai - Team Leader, his group often goes to Da Bia Mountain to clean up trash, but this time the most trash was mineral water bottles.
Volunteers from the Phu Yen Xanh group clean up the trash left behind by the competition.
" According to the schedule, on the afternoon of May 4, I and three friends went up Da Bia Mountain to clean up the trash. Along the way, I saw many plastic bottles still full along the way. At the top of the mountain, there was a banner of the cross-country race to conquer Da Bia Mountain. We stayed until the morning of May 5 to take the trash down," said Mr. Tai.
The serial number paper is left at the competition site.
Mr. Tai added that because the group was small, they only brought about 4 bags of plastic bottles down the mountain. There are still about 4 more bags on the mountain. " We will continue to go up the mountain to clean up trash. I hope everyone will keep the general hygiene on Da Bia mountain clean."
Plastic bottles are littered along the way up the mountain.
As a local, when seeing so much trash after the competition, Mr. Vo Trong Bang said that although plastic trash bags were placed along both sides of the road leading up the mountain for people to throw their trash away, perhaps because they were racing for achievements, the athletes did not have time to put it in the bags? The organizing units need to learn from experience for the next organization.
The Phu Yen Green Group brought back 4 sacks of plastic bottles.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong Thai - Director of the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Phu Yen province - said that after learning about the incident, she directed a review of the situation and assigned a department in charge of this field.
Da Bia Mountain was recognized as a unique national scenic spot by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in September 2008. This is one of the 17 newest cultural, historical and natural relics of Phu Yen province.
