The sun rays through the green pine trees, the mist covered in the flooded forest brings a peaceful picture through the lens of the 9x camera.
Nguyen Ngoc Ga (also known as Ga Ga), born in 1996, is from Quang Ngai but has moved to Da Lat since childhood. In 2017, during a camping experience with a group of friends at Thien Phuc Duc hill, ward 7, which is known as the “mecca of hunting clouds” of Da Lat, Ngoc Ga was impressed with the scene of pine hills submerged in the sea of mist. blind.
Because she loved the beauty of Da Lat so much, Ngoc Ga began to collect money to buy cameras and play photos. Currently, Ngoc Ga works as an auto repair technician, sometimes wandering around the mountain town and suburbs to hunt for photos and save beautiful moments.

In two years of tinkering with photos throughout the mountain town, Ngoc Ga feels that Da Lat has fewer and fewer “green areas” when many buildings, restaurants, and hotels are built, and the city becomes more crowded.

This is a tourist attraction located in the middle of the wild pine forest, associated with the sad love story of “two grave pine hills”, about 6 km from the center of Da Lat, along the road Quang Trung – Xuan Huong lake.
One of the ideal places to hunt for dew in Da Lat is in the flooded forest of Tuyen Lam Lake. This is the largest freshwater lake in Da Lat, about 7 km from the city center in the direction of National Highway 20 to Prenn Pass.
The young photographer shared, capturing the moment of a new day on Tuyen Tam lake brings an interesting feeling, a corner of the forest appears as beautiful as a dream thanks to the early morning sunlight shining through the foliage. This is also the only flooded forest in Da Lat.

“People everywhere choose Da Lat as a place to visit, relax and enjoy the fresh, cold air. But now Da Lat is losing its green areas, from the illegal exploitation of forest resources, and the cold in the plateau is also losing its specificity. When the city became crowded, I chose to go further to the suburbs to photograph the white misty plateau,” Ngoc Ga said.
