Da Lat is renowned as the region with the most spectacular wild sunflower season in the country. Wild sunflowers in Da Lat bloom abundantly in November. At this time, across the hillsides and highland roads, the vibrant yellow of wild sunflowers is in full bloom.
The two most beautiful mountain passes for admiring and photographing wild sunflowers in Da Lat are the Liên Khương expressway and the D'ran pass. These are two routes on the outskirts of Da Lat that are abundantly planted with wild sunflowers.
Additionally, the Phú Hiệp pass, the road to Tà Nùng, and the section near Thông stream are also among the picturesque spots for capturing wild sunflowers in Da Lat. The golden hue of the wild sunflowers blending with the billowy white clouds along the winding mountain roads creates an endless strip of beauty reminiscent of a fairyland.
Not only are the mountain passes adorned with the splendor of wild sunflowers, but within the city of Da Lat, there are also some ideal spots for capturing beautiful moments amidst the wild sunflowers:

Pleiku. The road to Biển Hồ (Pleiku) becomes more alluring, flavorful, and enticing this season due to the golden hue of wild sunflowers.
Travelers will marvel at the vibrant yellow carpets of wild sunflowers, reflecting sparklingly onto the water surface and admire the cool green space of two rows of ancient three-leaf pine trees leading to Biển Hồ (also known as Tơ Nưng lake).
One of the beautiful spots for capturing wild sunflower photos when visiting Pleiku is the road leading to Biển Hồ, such as Tô Vĩnh Diện street, Bùi Viện street, Lê Duẩn street, and more.
Ba Vì. Not as famous as the wild sunflowers in Da Lat, but Ba Vì also has its own wild sunflower season that leaves a mark on the hearts of travelers and adventurers. Amidst the misty space of Ba Vì mountains, wild sunflowers exude a romantic and gentle charm.
The most beautiful spot for capturing wild sunflower photos in Ba Vì is the wild sunflower hill in Ba Vì National Park. To reach this place, you need to pass through the swimming pool area (Cốt 400), continue towards the historical relics area, checkpoint 600.
After passing a guard station, you ask for permission from the guards to visit the hill area 700 and capture photos of wild sunflowers. Then, continue walking about 1km until you reach a junction, turn left to climb up hill 700.
