The last two months of the year are the pink grass season in Dalat. During this time, the grasses in the golden valley area, Masara hill turn pink-purple. Pink Grass Season in Dalat Dalat’s typical pink grass season only appears once a year, from the beginning of November to the end of December. Pink grasses are now in full bloom in Dalat. These are easily caught on the top of hills under the canopy of pine forests, in the grounds of tourist attractions like Dalat golden valley, bare hill area, the lonely tree of Dankia or Masara hill in the suburbs. Pink grass is a weed belonging to the coniferous group, growing in small bushes with thin stems and leaves. When the rainy season is over, old grass fades away and young grass emerges from the ground. At this time, the grass leaves and tiny flowers are purple and pink. In the early morning, dew drops are still thick on the grass, shining in the sunlight, so many people also call it snow grass. Each grass root grows in clumps, close to the ground, no taller than a person's ankle. Each clump of pink grass grows close together, overlapping each other, covering an entire valley or hillside. The pink and purple color scheme makes the scene strange, different from the seasons of the year. Living in Dalat, Pham Kim Nhan, 28 years old, does not miss the pink grass season at the end of every year. The pink grass hill in the golden valley which is about 12 km from the city center is his first spot choice. There is a complex of pine forests and grass hills with an area of ​​about 170 hectares, according to the National Tourism Administration website. Coming here on November, 20 he said that the grass had bloomed over the hill. “The scene seems to be covered with a layer of soft pink fur when the Dalat weather is cold”- he said. The golden valley is considered a good choice for those who do not have much travel time to find and see the pink grass. Here, tourists can take the opportunity to capture charming photos of Dalat’s signature atmosphere thanks to the pine forest, pink grass, sunlight and early dew drops.
If you adore a vast pink grass prairie, you should spend time going to Masara Hill in the suburban area, he said.

After a 2-hour moving, he headed to Masra grass hill in Masara Hamlet, Ta Nang Commune, Duc Trong District, 80 km from the Dalat city center. This area is where the two provinces of Lam Dong and Binh Thuan meet, and is also where the Lam Dong plateau begins to lose altitude. Here, the vast prairie is dyed with the grass color. Unlike pink grass hills growing with the pine forest, Masara pink grass grows on bare hills, with only a few places having pine trees but not many in number. Without the shadow of a pine forest, the color of pink grass covers the entire large area. Masara pink grass has a darker tone, closer to the burning grass color due to the direct impact of sunlight during the day, different from the snow pink color in the golden valley. The Masara beauty is a blend of pink grass prairie and extensive space. No matter where you stand on the top of the hill, can you overlook the grass color stretching beyond the horizon, he shared. The best time to contemplate and snap a photo of pink grass is after sunset (about 4:00 pm) and at dawn (from 6 to 8:00 am). At that time, the sunlight is gentle, not too harsh, and the grass has a beautiful color. Masara is also one of the most beautiful camping and sunrise spots in Dalat, especially at the end of the year. Visitors can bring camping equipment to set up tents overnight and admire the pink steppe in the sunrise the next morning. When camping, you should choose an area with little grass and shelter from the wind to avoid affecting the landscape. The outdoor temperature drops at night, you need to prepare enough clothes and warm-keeping equipment to ensure your health, he shared. The pink grass season lasts till the end of December. Depending on each place, grasses may fade away sooner or later. These grasses are in their best beauty at the end of November. The pink grass only exposes its best magnificence with adequate dews and sunlight. For a perfect visit, you should come here on beautiful sunny days. Da Lat is in the cold sunny season, you can combine watching pink grass and hunting clouds, dew, and wild sunflowers to fully enjoy the beauty of this place in the last months of the year.
