The silent people in the sunflower field

| Many tourists still lack environmental awareness when visiting sunflower fields. |
Every day, hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world visit the 80-hectare sunflower field, which is considered the largest field in Vietnam. Especially on weekends and holidays, this number reaches tens of thousands of people, causing the road leading to the sunflower field to be crowded with people. Many traffic jams lasting for kilometers have occurred. Outside the road leading to the flower field, in the field, tens of thousands of tourists come to enjoy the flowers, many of whom bring food and drinks and carelessly litter, not to mention cases of destroying flowers and breaking branches.

Mr. Truong Van Binh, a TH security guard working at the sunflower field, said that this year's flower season, there are 8 security guards patrolling the field every day. Each person's task is to remind visitors not to litter or destroy the flowers.
However, despite the warnings, there are still many cases of destroying flowers and posting videos on social media. There have been cases where security guards have taken some young people who lacked awareness of destroying flowers to the commune committee to make a report, but this situation still occurs.
To ensure the hygiene of the sunflower field, many trash cans have been placed on both sides of the main road. However, on the side paths leading to the flower field, it is not difficult to see food and drinks that many tourists carelessly leave behind. Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, a cleaner in the field, said that on normal days, the amount of trash is small, but on holidays, she and her colleagues cannot clean up all of it. Sometimes, right after cleaning, they come back to see another pile of trash.

Along with TH guards, starting from 7am, the district and commune police forces were mobilized to regulate traffic through the sunflower hill as well as the field area. One of the tasks was to remind many tourists who came to visit the field by car to stop and park their cars in the wrong place, resolve vehicle collisions, and maintain security and order in the flower field...

Mr. Tran Khanh Hoang, from the security team of Nghia Dan district, said that because the trail is small, only enough for 2 lanes, on a normal day, just one car stopping is enough to cause a traffic jam. On weekends, the pressure on the security forces to regulate traffic increases even more when the number of cars increases dramatically and many people intentionally go in the wrong lane, encroaching on the road to quickly enter the flower field. Not to mention the times when the security forces and guards also take on the task of looking after lost children, and informing visitors about finding things when they come to visit...
Facing the attraction of the sunflower field, those who are quietly working to ensure security and environmental sanitation in Nghia Dan are all happy but also hope that visitors will be more aware of protecting and preserving the landscape. So that the sunflower field can truly become a beautiful destination of Nghe An./.
