Have you ever wondered why in Dalat there is a hill of red grass? And why is it named Cu Hong
When the dew drops were melted, the sky was blue, at that time the grass hills in Dalat put on the smooth pink. And since then, the name of the pink grass hill was born as a “specialty” only in Dalat.
Usually around the end of October to early November every year, grass dust begins to grow and develop on hills in Dalat. This time is also the time when the wildflowers in Dalat blooming yellow to bring this city an extremely wild music. Many people keep in communication that, coming to Da Lat, holding the hand of their lovers watching the pink grass hill in the morning mist, they will definitely be with them forever.
This type of grass is actually snow grass, and the most beautiful pink grass viewing location is the golden stream. Here, you can enjoy watching the “fields” of pink grass covering the hills. And Da Lat at this time is gentle and sweet.
From midday to late afternoon is the time when you should not visit the pink grass hills because at this time the grass begins to dry, the color of the grass becomes darker, which local people often call “burnt grass”, the pink grass hills at this time no longer retain their beauty like in the early morning.
