Spring cherry blossoms add charms to Da Lat tea hill

Located in Xuan Truong Commune, about 25 km southeast of Da Lat's city center, Cau Dat Tea Hills date back to 1927, when the French discovered the area and planted its first tea trees.

Today, the tea hills span over 230 hectares, making them one of the largest tea-growing regions in Vietnam.

Known not only for its lush green tea fields, this area is also home to giant wind turbines.

This is the first wind power project in Lam Dong Province, with 15 large white wind turbines installed on tea hills, creating a unique landscape.

Cherry blossoms typically bloom from January to early March, though their timing varies each year based on weather conditions.

This year, the cherry blossoms at Cau Dat Tea Hills began blooming in late January, drawing tourists and photographers.

Nguyen Ngoc Son, a photographer, said to capture the photo series in the early morning light, he arrived at Cau Dat at 4 a.m. for cloud hunting before heading to the tea hills at around 6–7 a.m., when the area was still quiet with few tourists.
