The bamboo forest of more than 30 hectares in Nguyen Binh town makes many tourists feel like they are lost in a scene from a swordplay movie when visiting.

The forest has a total area of more than 30 hectares, located at an altitude of more than 1,000 m above sea level. Along the road from Nguyen Binh to Bao Lac, the immense green color of bamboo trees fills the eyes of visitors. Bamboo grows on hillsides, along stream banks or reaches up to the sky next to houses with yin and yang tile roofs.

Booking helps visitors conveniently move, visit or stop to rest.
“Regardless of its smaller scale, Nguyen Binh bamboo forest reminds me of the Kyoto bamboo forest in Japan,” Hieu said. The cool, fresh atmosphere creates a feeling of relaxation and comfort.
When the sun rises high, sunlight penetrates through the leaves, creating rays of light that shine on the ground, making the forest seem to glow and become more sparkling, Hieu said.
Along the way, there are many check-in corners for tourists who like to take photos. Even bundles of bamboo tied and neatly arranged on the side of the road can give visitors beautiful photos with the green forest in the background.

Since ancient times, bamboo has been associated with people in daily life and production, helping to develop the economy and stabilize life. Currently, bamboo trees also pave the way for tourism development, contributing to promoting the local image to tourists.
“When I step in here, all my worries and worries are dismissed. I just focus on listening to the sound of the wind pushing bamboo branches against each other, slowly walking on the winding paths and inhaling the unique fragrance. symbol of bamboo,” Hieu said.
According to him, this place is a suitable place for tourists looking for peace, temporarily escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life.
