"Music of the Forest" - Den Vau
On the evening of March 4th, rapper Den Vau released his new music video "Music of the Forest," aiming to encourage people to actively plant trees, protect nature, and care about environmental issues. With bright and vibrant colors, the MV tells the story of a group of children who go into the forest to plant trees and explore nature. During their trip, the children get lost in a barren patch of forest. From there, the children contribute to reviving the forest, restoring water flow, moistening the soil, and allowing trees to sprout.

"Open Your Eyes" - MONO
Also opting to incorporate a series of beautiful Vietnamese landscapes into their new music video, "Open Your Eyes" by MONO was filmed in several northern mountainous provinces. According to several sources, the three locations featured in the MV are Mount Eye of God (Cao Bang), Ban Gioc Waterfall (Cao Bang), and Ta Xua (Son La). The "Open Your Eyes" music video focuses on showcasing the lush, pristine mountain scenery, creating a truly unspoiled atmosphere perfect for listening to the babbling streams and birdsong.
MONO's music video "Open Your Eyes" was filmed in several mountainous provinces in northern Vietnam.
The most prominent setting in the music video is the scenic Mount Mat Than (Eye of God) in Cao Chuong commune (Trung Khanh district), part of the UNESCO Non Nuoc Cao Bang Global Geopark heritage system. Located nearly 30 km from the city center, Mount Mat Than is an ideal place for sightseeing and exploration. Completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the city, it boasts a clean climate and peaceful, picturesque scenery.
The Eye of God Mountain is known locally as Phja Pjot (Hole Mountain). The hole in the mountain, created by uplift during tectonic activity, is located right in the middle of the mountain's slope and has a maximum diameter of up to 50 meters. According to scientists, the Eye of God Mountain is actually a dry cave, a fossil cave formed over 300 million years ago. It is also considered a unique mountain in Vietnam.
The most frequently featured setting in the music video is the scenic Mount Mat Than (Eye of the God) in Cao Chuong commune (Trung Khanh district).
Another location featured in the music video, also in Cao Bang, is Ban Gioc Waterfall. This famous scenic spot, with its pristine white natural stream, is located in Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district, Cao Bang province. It is also one of the largest transnational waterfalls in the world. Not only does it possess majestic natural beauty, Ban Gioc Waterfall is also a source of pride for the people of this border region. One of the unique features of Ban Gioc Waterfall is that the main waterfall doesn't flow directly from the top but is divided into many tiers, creating impressive white cascades interspersed with colorful foliage.
With its wind-facing terrain and humid subtropical climate, Cao Bang has two distinct seasons: rainy and dry. The scenery at Ban Gioc Waterfall is beautiful in every season, each with its own unique charm. From June to September, Ban Gioc Waterfall experiences heavy rains, with strong currents and white foam, making it ideal for admiring the majestic beauty of nature.
Another location featured in the music video, also in Cao Bang, is Ban Gioc Waterfall.
In the music video "Open Your Eyes," the enchanting, fairytale-like forest chosen is Ta Xua. This dark, mysterious primeval forest, with its towering ancient trees and ferns covering the forest floor, creates a beauty that is half real, half surreal.
Ta Xua Forest boasts a diverse plant life, most notably the rhododendron trees with their bizarre, fairytale-like shapes. The deeper you go and the higher you climb, the more the mossy forest unfolds, resembling a labyrinth.
