Extinct volcano dyed yellow in wild sunflowers

Chu Dang Ya means wild ginger in the language of the J'rai ethnic community. The funnel-shaped crater and volcanic ash mixed with red basalt soil are still evident today.

The commune is 30 kilometers from downtown Gia Lai. Visitors are impressed by the beauty of the wild flowers growing along the road sides.

November is wild sunflower season. In Chu Dang Ya, the blossoms come into season at the same time but last longer.

But you still only have a month to enjoy them.

Fertile red soil also brings life to other types of trees and vegetables.

Pumpkins and sweet potatoes are traditional crops in Chu Dang Ya. Local people say the red basalt soil gives their products a sweeter taste than products grown in other regions.

Ethnic children play at the foot of the volcano.

Chu Dang Ya has become a new flowery photography set for visitors.
