Stretching across the rolling hills, the pink hue of the reeds transforms the area into a romantic landscape comparable to the famed grass fields of Da Lat in Lam Dong province and Binh Lieu in Quang Ninh province.

Unlike other tourist destinations, the pampas grass in Tram Lap grows entirely in the wild, without human cultivation or landscape planning. Its untouched natural beauty has become a magnet for travelers seeking authentic scenery.

During the early morning or late afternoon, when sunlight filters through the delicate pink plumes, the hillsides shimmer under a soft, silky glow, an irresistible invitation for visitors and photographers to capture the fleeting moment.

Local residents say the grass begins flowering at the end of September and reaches its most vibrant stage in October, lasting until early November. While the site has not been officially developed for tourism, authorities encourage locals to maintain cleanliness, avoid littering, and refrain from cutting the grass to protect the pristine environment.

The pink pampas fields of Son Lang are now emerging as a new “check-in” spot for trekkers visiting the nearby K50 Waterfall, also known as Hang En Waterfall, during the year-end travel season.

Amid the vast highland landscape, the blush of pink grass blending with lush green hills creates a poetic and rustic tableau, a scene that continues to captivate all who visit.
