Time
Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Binh Phuoc provinces are the places where the largest rubber trees are grown in Vietnam, with an area of up to tens of thousands of hectares. Although not a tourist destination, every year, from November to February, tourists visit the Southeast region to admire the beautiful, romantic and poetic season of yellow rubber leaves.
From the end of December, the vast rubber forests begin to transform, changing the color of their leaves. Because of the large area and the slow change of leaves, visitors can leisurely find the most suitable time to visit the rubber forests. The green leaves on the branches do not immediately turn yellow, but slowly, slowly intermingle with yellow leaves and finally turn red. The space of the rubber forests at this time becomes poetic and magical, just like in cold countries.
Every time a gentle breeze blew, yellow and red leaves would fall to the ground. The leaves spun in the air and then gently lay still on the ground. The warm rays of sunlight above penetrated through the rows of trees, shining a bright yellow light on the brilliant carpet of leaves. The ground at this time was a soft, gentle and peaceful carpet like a fairy tale space. On the rubber trees, yellow and red leaves were still crowded together, painting a beautiful scene that captivated people's hearts.
The best time to get beautiful frames with the most perfect light is early morning dawn, or after 3 pm - when the sun is less harsh. The forest here is quite large and wild, so it is best to go with a group of 3-4 people for peace of mind!
Location
Dong Nai is one of the provinces with the largest rubber plantation area in the country with more than 35 thousand hectares spread across many districts of Xuan Loc, Dinh Quan, Trang Bom or Bien Hoa city. Visiting these beautiful rubber forests at the beginning of the new year, you can immerse yourself in the fresh spring atmosphere and take photos to your heart's content.
Binh Duong also has the largest and most beautiful rubber forests located in Dau Tieng, Tan Uyen, and Ben Cat districts. In addition, you can go to the forest near Can Nom Lake to take pictures with the yellow rubber leaves season.
For young people living in Saigon, the tall forest along Can Nom Lake, Thanh An Commune, Dau Tieng District is the most ideal place to take beautiful photos. From the center of Ho Chi Minh City to here is only about 2 hours, you go along Highway 13 and you will see the forest stretching on both sides of the road.
Binh Phuoc also owns vast forests of large and small rubber trees. In particular, young and old rubber trees are planted together, creating a picture with a full range of colors from fresh green, bright yellow to dark red.
Note
Unlike flower gardens or fruit gardens, rubber plantations are very large and have no fences. Rubber trees are planted in straight rows to facilitate the growth and extraction of latex. Therefore, when coming to these forests, you can run through the vast forests to sightsee and take pictures. In addition, couples can also take advantage of the forest to take wedding photos, capturing beautiful moments for themselves.
During the journey through the forest, you can stop at the most beautiful roads to take pictures. The garden owners are almost very comfortable when tourists come to visit. They also guide visitors to the most beautiful places without charging any fees. Therefore, you should make sure not to litter, destroy trees or collect latex cups in the forest, ensuring to keep the poetic beauty of the landscape intact.
One important thing to note is that during the rubber season, the forest will have many damp places, stagnant water and many mosquitoes. Therefore, when you go to the rubber forest to take photos, you should apply mosquito repellent and bring insect spray to ensure your safety.
