The attraction of sunflowers

(Baonghean.vn) -Late November, mid-winter but the weather is still sunny. The sunflower field of nearly 60 hectares in Nghia Lam commune, Nghia Dan district has just begun to bloom but has attracted thousands of people to admire. Many groups of young people are preparing for a trip to the Western region of Nghe An.

Many young people are attracted by sunflower fields.

My friend Ninh from Hanoi was on a business trip to Cua Lo Town. When I told him about the sunflower field of TH True Milk dairy farm in Nghia Dan, he was very excited. We decided to leave right after lunch.

From Cua Lo, after more than 2 hours of traveling, at nearly 1 pm we officially arrived at Nghia Lam commune in the strangely hot and humid winter sun. Along the Ho Chi Minh road, sunflower fields appeared as far as the eye could see, blooming with vibrant colors that made people's hearts flutter.

Seeing the eagerness of visitors from afar, Ms. Truong Thi Hoa, a Tho ethnic person who was preparing to sell soft drinks right next to the road, said: "The flowers have been blooming sporadically for the past 4 days. Although they have not yet fully bloomed, in recent days, the number of people coming to admire, film, and take pictures has been very crowded, especially from 4 pm onwards."

Next to it, the bulldozer of TH True Milk Company is working at full capacity to level the ground and prepare a free parking lot for visitors. Many security guards are assigned to watch the flower garden day and night. Preparations are taking place urgently to serve visitors most conveniently.

In recent years, many raw material fields of TH True Milk dairy farm in Nghia Dan have been covered with bright yellow sunflowers. The company representative said that the purpose is to feed cows, but clearly the irresistible beauty of sunflowers has created a fever for those who love to explore, especially young people.

Sunflower fields begin to bloom.

Few people expected that in the middle of Nghe An with its “specialty” of hot Lao wind, there would be such captivating sunflower hills. With the characteristic of always facing the sun, sunflowers are considered a symbol of faith and hope. The bright yellow flowers proudly stretch out in the dry weather, making the scene here strangely lively.

By chance, we met a young couple Nguyen Hoang Minh and Le Ngoc Hien from Quy Hop district in the middle of a vast flower hill. “We heard that the flowers were blooming so we went down to visit in advance to prepare for our wedding photo shoot. Last year, my friend took her wedding photos in a beautiful sunflower field so we couldn’t miss it,” Hoang Minh said while looking at his future bride with indescribable happiness.

My friend who was with me was still surprised when he said: “I have heard a lot about famous sunflower gardens in the world but I never thought that Nghe An has such a beautiful flower field. It is so wonderful!”.

Every time sunflowers bloom, they cause a "fever" among young people.

Anyone passing by this road, no matter how hurried, still tries to linger, admire the proud and attractive flower and do not forget to take a few souvenir photos. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thien, Deputy General Director of the International High-Tech Agriculture Joint Stock Company under TH Group said: "We grow sunflowers for the purpose of crop rotation to prevent pests and provide food for the cow farm, but we did not expect this flower to attract tourists so much. In 2014, when the flower garden in Nghia Son commune bloomed, it attracted millions of people from all over the country to come here to visit and admire, even from abroad, many tourists called the company to contact us to find out more."

On social networking sites, young people from all over the country are preparing their journeys to the Western region of Nghe An with excitement and anticipation. Surely this winter, many young people will have unforgettable experiences when they come to admire the yellow color of sunflowers and enjoy the specialty of Vinh oranges right in the famous land of Phu Quy. Before saying goodbye to me, my friend said: "I will arrange to bring my family here this weekend, I cannot miss this opportunity".
