Visit Binh Phu to experience "yellow flowers on green grass"

For those who love Nguyen Nhat Anh’s stories, they will see that most of his works’ settings and characters are inspired by the land of Thang Binh. And when I came to Binh Phu, I saw “yellow flowers on green grass”.

This land has rivers, seas, mountains, forests, lakes… Many historical sites have been featured in movies and poems.

We visited the Thang Binh District Party Committee base (1964-1975) - a provincial historical relic located in Linh Cang village, the citadel land of Binh Phu commune.

To reach the relic, you have to follow the road around Phuoc Ha Lake. Visitors will experience the space of the forests - which once sheltered many generations of revolutionary activists. Swinging a hammock under the forest canopy, listening to the sound of streams and birds singing...

Not far from the Thang Binh District Party Committee base, there is a road that turns to Ho Thac. Ho Thac is nearly 3km long, the top of the hole is in Tien Son commune, Tien Phuoc district, flowing to Linh Cang village, Binh Phu commune.

As the name suggests, the hole extends from the top of the mountain down and forms water holes. The huge, undulating rocks, perhaps nature has piled them on top of each other to make this place special?

With pristine waterfalls, cool surrounding forests. Standing on the mountain peak here, you can see the whole space of Phuoc Ha Lake, with immense rice fields in the golden ripening season. The lake surface is calm.

On the green lawn by the lake, visitors can enjoy watching the sunrise and sunset. A feeling closest to nature that everyone wants to enjoy.

In this space, people also built thatched huts and roadside stalls as places for tourists to stop and rest. On weekends, bringing chairs, or sitting on this lawn, enjoying a cup of coffee, chatting or reading a book with your loved one… is a feeling that is hard to describe.

People often know about La Nga - Cao Ngan, Dong Tien lakes, but few know about Phuoc Ha lake. This is the largest irrigation reservoir in the western Thang Binh region, stretching across many villages of Binh Phu commune, and is the source of fresh water for the western Thang Binh region.

Previously, the road to this place was extremely difficult. In 2023, when Binh Phu became a commune to build a new, advanced rural area, the road was completed by the people. So that today, tourists can easily enjoy the scenery around Phuoc Ha Lake.

The locals welcome guests like they are returning relatives. Many local specialties are served, from rock snails, free-range chickens, fern, grilled fish. These dishes are grown by the locals themselves, caught in the rocks, or fished from the lake bed…

This holiday, why not explore Binh Phu with your loved ones - the place of "yellow flowers on green grass".
