DONG NAI – The scene known as “European field” in Dong Nai is the destination of many tourists when visiting Cat Tien forest.
Ta Lai field, hundreds of hectares wide, located in Ta Lai commune, Tan Phu district next to Cat Tien National Park, has long been called “European field” in Dong Nai by tourists.
Not only fields, the area also has hundreds of straight oil trees in the middle of vast rice fields, creating a beautiful picture. To enter the field, visitors go from Highway 20 across the Dong Nai river to the center of Ta Lai commune about 20 km.
The ripe rice season in Ta Lai fields is usually at the end of the year, many local people build huts to guard against mice and elephants that destroy the rice. “Visiting the fields, visitors can see herds of elephants coming out of the old forest or some wild animals,” a resident said.

Many tourists come to check in. Mr. Lam, from Bien Hoa City, commented that in addition to the vast primeval forests, rice fields in Cat Tien forest are “rare”.
After the rice is harvested, the fields dry out, creating squares of fields.

When spring comes, Chau Ma people continue to sow seeds for the new crop. In the photo are two girls returning from the forest through the fields, next to a flock of white storks circling around looking for food, creating a peaceful scene.

To facilitate harvesting and mechanization in agricultural production, the local government has concreted the road from the commune center to the fields close to the forest edge.
In addition to visiting “fields like Europe”, visitors can also enjoy culinary specialties with bamboo-tube rice and grilled chicken of the Chau Ma ethnic group in Ta Lai village.
