Firstly, we will take a closer look at this kind of plant.

This is a type of weed, grows in clumps with tall and straight trunks like casuarinas. It is quite similar to cortaderia selloana with dark pink upper body that looks very attractive. The coat of this grass is relatively soft and does not shed much as pampas grass so you can hold easily and take pictures without worrying about its coat.

However, the way is not difficult to go.  

If you are stay in the city center, I will give you the instruction. It takes the starting point from the fountain near Xuan Huong Lake, runs down the streets via Dinh Tien Hoang street, Nguyen Con Tru street, Xo Viet Nghe Tinh street and Ankroet road. Then, you turn towards the Suoi Vang, drive into Cu Lan village, continue going pass the Suoi Vang dam for about 01 kilometer and follow the road to go the Lonely Pine where the camping site is located.

After putting up your tent, you can look at the beautiful and stunning scenery of pink lea freely. In addition, on a rainy day, you need to be ready to sacrifice yourself for the beauty because the road will be muddy.

Moreover, you can also see the hill of grass pink in two other places:

The entrance to the Dat Set Tunnel which is located in the southwest of the city center. Running down Trieu Viet Vuong, you turn to the Dieu Khac tunnel and continue driving straight ahead for about 500 meters. There is not only the pink lea in this area, but also the beautiful yellow wild sunflowers. 

The third place to discover is the hill lying near Thai Phien flower village. You follow Hung Vuong road, then turn left at the Trai Mat fork and keep going for another 3 kilometers. You will see a grass hill on the left and another one on the right which locates a few hundred meters away from the first one.
 

Driving along the road to admire the true beauty of the pink grasslands

Even if you are not a good photographer, that's alright, you don't have to worry about it. You just need to come to this place when it is on the "golden time", then you are able to catch impressive pictures as many as you want easily.

If you ask me about the most suitable time to catch fanciful and dreamy photos, then the answer is the pure moment when the first light of day touches those pink grass. You can see the color of pink grass change through every single move of the sunlight.
 

Taking beautiful pictures in early morning.

Before 5.30 am, when the sun is still so lazy to rises up, pink grassland put on its innocent white as snow. When the light goes through, every dew, stagnating on the grass, starts glittering. The brighter the sun shines, the more glorious the pink color will be. Unfortunately, after 8 am, the color will not remain like before and become less attractive than what you saw by the dawn. What is more wonderful than waking up early in the morning, walking around the peaceful and romantic pink grassland, blending your soul in the surrounding and admiring the pristine beauty of the area?

If you do not want to travel too far, joining your friends for an overnight camping trip on the top of the pine's hill is not a bad idea. Up this high, you can observe the entire land changing its color in the early morning. One thing to remember is that you cannot camp right on the pink grassland because it will ruin the blade of grass.
 

Tourists can set camp on top of the hill over looking the scenery

Normally, Golden Stream area has so many guests who come to visit in this time. That is the reason why you should arrive early and also can fully enjoy and create a lot of memorable moments without being disturbed. 

For backpacking tourists, you can go a little bit farther, follow the path that brings you to see "the lonely pine" for sightseeing or camping. This road can create some difficulties for you to drive on, especially in the rainy season, but the scenery is eye catching and wildness. Moreover, this area is easier to set the campfire for group with a lot of people. 

When Christmas and New Year Eve are coming soon, the weather in Da Lat is getting cold and the fog is thicker. The lightly sunshine is still not strong enough to melt the cold dew covering on pink lea. Not only will you have an opportunity to admire the pink grass near Suoi Vang lake, but you also can enjoy the breathtaking views over Vang valley. Nothing is more perfect than camping and sipping a cup warm tea, talking with friends in this large open air.

A few notes when you travel to pink grass valleys:

For tourists who are familiar with this place, taking a note of the roads which are quite muddy in rainy days is very important to protect yourself and prepare necessary equipment. However, get ready to sacrifice for beauty because all your efforts will truly worth it!
