Gia Lai is on the verge of the spectacular Golden Cotton Tree flower season
Around late September to early October every year, the Golden Cotton Tree flowers bloom abundantly, marking the beginning of the mesmerizing wildflower season in Gia Lai. The Golden Cotton Tree grows amidst tea plantations in Gia Lai, enhancing the breathtaking natural scenery.

The Golden Cotton Tree flower, also known by various names such as Queen Cotton Tree, Lantern Flower, Water Scorpion, Golden Scorpion, Spring Plant, Late Spring Tree, Osaka... is extensively planted in urban areas like Nha Trang, Dalat, Danang, Saigon... However, many believe that the wild forests in the highlands of the Central Highlands are the most beautiful.

The cotton tree flower has five petals, vibrant yellow in color, blooming in clusters, cascading down. The flowers bloom all over the tree, one after another, forming large clusters, even the green leaves nestle themselves, enhancing the shimmering yellow color of the flowers.

From high above, you would feel like you're admiring a natural carpet with the predominant green of tea leaves, adorned by beautiful splashes of yellow. The shimmering golden hue of cotton tree flowers mesmerizes tourists, making them reluctant to leave.

Looking from afar, the entire mountain town is covered by colorful cotton tree branches, with rows of yellow running along, interspersed among tea hills, winding along mountain slopes. Cotton tree flowers add beauty to the autumn sky here, becoming a familiar image that those who are far from home always remember.

The best place to fully appreciate the beauty of the Golden Cotton Tree forest is the tea hills of Team 2 and Team 3, located in the Bầu Cạn tea plantation, Chư Prông district.
