Tourists taking photo by wild sunflowers |
Wild sunflowers are found everywhere, but the most brilliant ones can only be seen in the Central Highlands. The flowers are named for the festival in Gia Lai province and associated with the Chu Dang Ya volcano - which is considered as the "home" of wild sunflowers.
The combination is expected to become a tourism brand and one of the typical tourism products of Gia Lai province in the next time.
The festival will run till November 13.
