In March, rice flowers begin to bloom all over the hillside. This is also the time when clouds fill the valleys at dawn on the top of the Truong Son Dong Range, Son Tay district (Quang Ngai).

The sun rising to the top of the hill to welcome a new day combined with the sea of clouds flowing through the valleys creates a poetic natural masterpiece. The land here has a cool climate all year round, and good soil, suitable for growing fruit trees, and medicinal herbs associated with tourism service development.

The village of the Kadong people is located around terraced fields in this peaceful highland. In addition to watching the sunrise by the valley of clouds, visitors can also immerse themselves in the festival of “eating buffalo” with the villagers here. Every year, from March to April, the villagers of Son Tay upland district organize this festival. They make bamboo poles, sacrifice buffaloes to the gods, and performs gong dances, praying for a good harvest and good health.

Leaders of Son Tay district shared that the most valuable capital in this land is their honest, hospitable people and their unique cultural identity.
