Forest patrols With an area of ​​more than 15,000 hectares, Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien-Hue province has a rich flora and fauna, containing a diverse genetic resource of more than 1,200 species of animals and plants. Up to now, the reserve still retains a large area of ​​tropical evergreen closed forest, which is home to many rare species of birds and animals. From the center of the mountainous district of A Luoi, drive on the Ho Chi Minh route to the south about more than 30 km, when going through the tunnel through A Roang mountain, it is a majestic and unspoiled scene of primeval forests. Sao La Conservation Area, Thua Thien – Hue Province. The reserve covers an area of ​​more than 15,000 hectares of natural forest, stretching across the two districts of Nam Dong and A Luoi, directly connected with Sao La Conservation Area in Quang Nam Province and Xe Sap National Reserve in Laos. Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province currently has three patrol teams and five forest protection stations, which are regularly mobile to perform forest protection tasks. Following in the footsteps of a five-man patrol team led by Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, we walked along the slopes, crossing streams under the canopy of old forests straight into the core area of ​​the reserve. This patrol is expected to take about six days to travel, so the backpacks of team members are full of essential equipment and items such as navigators, camera traps, binoculars. , personal items, medicine, pots and pans, food… Sticking with Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province from the very beginning, 11 years ago, Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, a Ta Oi ethnic, set foot in most of the sub-areas in the reserve. this vast expanse. For Mr. Nuoc, the reserve is like his second home, he has the ability to read the names of each big tree in the forest; even a glimpse of a bird singing, he could tell what kind of bird it was. After finding a convenient location by a small stream, the patrol team assigned each other to set up a tent to rest and cook. Pham Viet Nuoc confided that this patrol job requires not only good health, but also forest skills and above all a love of nature to stick with the job. On average, a patrol team will work 22 days a month in the forest, of which 16 days are camping in sub-areas in the reserve. “The mountainous terrain in the reserve is very dangerous, with many dangers lurking for forest protection teams, especially in the rainy season. There are many cases of brothers and sisters with serious and life-threatening injuries due to sudden broken branches on them, biting by poisonous snakes, or in the process of crossing streams, when suddenly the water from upstream suddenly surged. Pham Viet Nuoc shared. Giant Truong Son at Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien-Hue province. Recently, Sao La Conservation Area in Thua Thien – Hue province has contracted with A Luoi District Medical Center (Thua Thien – Hue) and Tay Giang District Medical Center (Quang Nam) to identify 4 rescue locations. fixed along the Ho Chi Minh route through the nature reserve, so that when an injured person comes out from the forest, ambulances will go straight to these locations to give first aid and take people to the hospital for treatment. timely treatment. On the patrol journey, Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc and members of the team stopped at many areas to observe and detect the traps of wild animals of the people to remove and collect. According to Mr. Nuoc, in the past, the number of animal traps that people put in the forest was as much as a “matrix”. Especially near the New Year holidays, people still have the custom of trapping wild animals to eat, that is also the time when patrol teams have to strengthen their duty force. According to the Management Board of Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien – Hue province, from 2014 to 2017, the situation of trapping wild animals in the reserve was really a problem. In some years, the forest patrol force has dismantled more than 21,000 traps of all kinds. In recent years, thanks to the promotion of propaganda combined with the detection of strict handling of violations, the number of animal traps has decreased significantly. Since the beginning of 2021, patrol teams have driven 11 people out of the forest, dismantled 14 illegally built camps and collected more than 1,740 animal traps. After being dismantled, the animal traps will be returned to the stations for destruction according to regulations. Preserving the “treasure” of the green forest Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province is one of the places with the highest biodiversity in the region and in the world. This place owns the remaining natural primeval forest area of ​​the Central Truong Son area and is home to rare and endemic animals such as saola, Truong Son muntjac, large muntjac, striped rabbit and many more. other animals and plants. According to the Management Board of Sao La Conservation Area in Thua Thien – Hue province, recent research results show that the reserve currently has 1,035 species of plants, 42 species of mammals, 139 species of birds, 54 species of fish, 84 species of reptiles, frogs, frogs and 284 species of butterflies. In which, many species are listed in the Red Book of Vietnam and the Red Book of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). According to Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, in recent years, during the patrol process, the number of animals has increased significantly such as chamois, wild boar, deer, zebra rabbit, Truong Son large gill and some species of wild animals. growth such as monkeys, douc langurs… This is a great joy for the tireless efforts of those who are directly involved in forest maintenance and biodiversity conservation here. Mr. Nguyen Huu Hoa, an officer of the Forest Management and Protection Department (the Management Board of Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien – Hue province), said that with the support of technology, especially the application of the camera trap system in the forest is being developed. promote efficiency, effectively support the management and scientific research on the development and distribution of animals in the conservation area. In the past time, the camera traps have provided many valuable documentary images to record the presence of animals and the most important goal of these camera traps is to record the saola in the area. conserve. The saola, whose scientific name is Pseudoryx khetinhensis, also known as the “Asian Unicorn”, is one of the rarest mammals in the world. Monkeys at Sao La Nature Reserve, Thua Thien-Hue province. Director of Sao La Conservation Area Management Board in Thua Thien-Hue Province Nguyen Thanh said: The unit has cooperated with many wildlife protection organizations to research and search for traces of saola species in the reserve. such as placing photo traps at locations where mondo grass grows and develops, because this is a “favorite” dish of saola; collect samples of strange animal feces or take samples of species squeezed in the forest for scientists to conduct tests and find clues… According to Director of the Management Board of Sao La Conservation Area in Thua Thien – Hue Province Nguyen Thanh, located in the same habitat area, in 2013, Sao La Conservation Area in Quang Nam Province recorded a saola by photographing a single individual. shock the scientific research and nature conservation circles at home and abroad. Therefore, officers and staff of Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province hope to also discover saola in the reserve in the future. In recent years, Sao La Nature Reserve in Thua Thien – Hue province has invested and equipped many modern machines to help patrol teams improve operational efficiency. Currently, forest protection officers only need to use smartphones to record patrol positions, locations with signs of forest encroachment, encountering animal traps, camps, encountering people entering the forest, etc. When there is a phone signal, this information and image will automatically be updated into the system, serving as the basis for the process of analyzing and processing information at the specialized department of the Management Board. Director of Sao La Conservation Area Management Board in Thua Thien – Hue province shared that the protection of primeval forests in the reserve still faces many difficulties and challenges. For example, the cutting of forest trees still occurs sporadically at some point in time, or the animal traps set up by people in the forest, although significantly reduced in number, have not been completely stopped… Therefore, the Maintaining forest protection patrols is important to minimize the negative impacts of humans on the forest’s ecosystem. The patrol team led by Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc as captain after many days of climbing passes, wading streams, “eating shacks, sleeping in the forest” has completed the task. According to Mr. Pham Viet Nuoc, after each trip, there is one more animal trap removed, by chance encountering wild animals, or simply seeing that the forest has not been violated, which is a joy and motivation for the members of the community. Team members overcome difficulties and dangers to stick with their work, contributing to preserving the “treasure” of the green forest for future generations.

Kon Tum Cathedral Wooden Church was built entirely of Ca chit wood (red chili) Coming to Kon Tum Cathedral Wooden Church, visitors always feel peace and serenity. In the first few months of 2021, it had to be closed, minimizing people to visit and attend Mass because of COVID-19 translation, so far the church has reopened. Inside the Wooden Church of Kon Tum A Den, representative of the Church, said that Kon Tum Diocese is the most special in the Central Highlands because of all ethnic people. “There are nearly 12,000 parishioners, living in 10 villages, mainly Ba Na people. Most of them do farming and farming. They do not know how to do business or trade. Previously, in the church, there were open schools that taught both culture (teaching Ba Na) and career orientation. Now, since kindergarten, they can learn Vietnamese, so all children can go to outside public schools ”, said teacher A Den. According to the church representative, the Cathedral Parish prescribes that each month there is a baptism for the children on the first Monday of the month, with the number of about 30 children or more / time. In addition, Saturday afternoon and all Sunday are still served at Mass. “Due to the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, in 2020 and the outbreak from the end of January 2021 in Gia Lai, the Orthodox Parish minimizes the admission of visitors. Particularly, after the outbreak in Gia Lai, the church closed and did not receive guests. The parish stipulates that people go to Mass with only 30 people or less, maximum 50 people on Sunday, strictly abide by the epidemic prevention measures of the Ministry of Health such as hand washing and antiseptic on arrival. gate, measuring body temperature, wearing a medical mask, sitting at a distance of 2-3m in the church “, said teacher A Den and said that at present he still reminds people to be cautious about the complicated developments of the epidemic in India. Degrees and neighboring countries. According to A Den, Kon Tum Cathedral was designed and initiated by a French priest, built in 1913, completed in 1918 and today. In the 1994 – 1996 period, the work was repaired to add two more verandah corridors. By 2013, on the 100th anniversary, the church was remodeled a bit outside. These days, the church is always open to visitors, and there are always people reminding people to wear masks, to take measures to prevent epidemics. Having to go to the church when the afternoon comes, the sunset gradually hides behind the trees of the old tomb. The old porcelain root blossoms with white flowers, and the red confetti to adorn the ancient relics, can fully feel the harmonious design of Roman architecture (France) and wooden stilt houses of the Ba Na people. Through the upheaval in May, the wooden church is still standing there, like the indomitable spirit of the people of the Central Highlands. The material for the construction of the Kon Tum Cathedral Wooden Church is very special, completely made of the best wood at that time, which was Ca chit (red chrysanthemum) – a typical wood of the Central Highlands. Through the skillful hands of artisans from Binh Dinh, Quang Nam, Quang Ngai … the work is bonded together by dream without using nails. The church is the only remaining Basilica-style wooden masterpiece in the world.

As a Xiaobai-level “alise friend”, I finally completed the third trip across the Qinling Mountains in Xi’an. On this trip to the Qinling Mountains, we spent 10 hours walking through the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains. We encountered the sea of ​​flowers and waterfalls, as well as forests and ancient temples. The scenery was primitive and shocking. If it is you, would you like to take a trip? First release the whole route: Xi’an Shangwang Village-Miyan Temple-Huangyugou-Huangyugou Reservoir-Huangyu Temple Village (Cuiwei Palace Site)-Reclining Buddha Temple-Jingye Temple-Fengyukou- Xi’an This is a classic Qinling crossing route in Xi’an. The total distance is about 13 kilometers, and the degree of difficulty is not particularly large. Because there are a lot of people who have passed by, there are ribbons left by various outdoor climbing clubs along the way, which have just become road signs, so as long as you have a certain physical strength and outdoor foundation, you should be able to complete the crossing. This route has both beautiful natural scenery and profound cultural heritage, so it is worth a special trip! The first section: Shangwang Village-Huangyusi Village The whole journey is 7 kilometers, with beautiful scenery along the way. A Jinsha River has always been with us, and has formed large and small pools and waterfalls. Large areas of purple pansy, yellow pansy, and Tangdi flowers bloom in the valley, making me really feel the soft and beautiful side of the Da Qinling. It is worth noting that if you have poor physical strength and don’t want to take the complete route, coming to this Huangyugou to stop and go is also a good leisure experience. My friend and I met at Weiqunan Station on Metro Line 2 early in the morning and took bus 334 to Shangwang Village at 8:30. Passing through Shangwang Village, before entering Huangyugou, I encountered the first ancient temple-Miyan Temple. The Miyan Temple has a long history, but the temple I see today was rebuilt in the 1980s. Perhaps because it was too early, the temple did not open the door, so I took a picture from a distance and moved on. After passing the Miyan Temple, you will enter the Huangyugou. One kilometer ahead, you can see the Huangyugou Reservoir as if a piece of emerald embedded in the mountains. After passing the reservoir, the mountaineering trip officially began. The first 5 kilometers of this route are relatively smooth, with little elevation, and always walk along the mountain valley road. The Jinsha River accompanies us all the way, forming the beautiful scenery of waterfalls and lakes. I think coming here in summer will definitely be very cool! The valley is also full of various mountain flowers, among which purple pansy, yellow pansy, and tangy’s flowers are the most. Accompanied by streams and crossing flower valleys, such spring scenery of Qinling Mountains is truly unforgettable for us. The last 2 kilometers began to rise, and the slope reached more than 45 degrees. After walking a few steps, we were out of breath, gritted our teeth all the way, and finally turned around and we climbed onto a mountain platform. This is where the Huangyu Temple Cuiwei Palace site is located! The second section: 10,000 mu of azalea plum blossom sea in Huangyusi Village Huangyusi Village is located on a hilltop platform of Cuiwei Mountain in Qinling Mountains at 1,200 meters above sea level. In the early Tang Dynasty, this was the leisure summer palace of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin-Cuiwei Palace. The hilltop platform we saw when we climbed up from Huangyugou (pictured below) is said to be the site of the ruins of several main halls of Cuiwei Palace. Walking into the village, we also met the most tourists on this journey. Because Huangyusi Village can be reached directly by car by car, you can drive up the mountain along a dirt road called “Dahaogou” on the east side of the mountain 3 kilometers into Fengyukou. Right now is the time when the Baijuan plum blossoms. Huangyusi Village is the largest and densest area of ​​Baijuan plum in the Qinling Mountains of Xi’an, so it attracts a large number of tourists to come to enjoy the flowers. Regarding the specific content of Baijuan Plum in Huangyusi Village, you can refer to my last travel note, and I won’t repeat it here.Beautiful!Xi’an’s Qinling Baijuan plum resembles a “sea of ​​snow”, and you can drive straight to the top of the mountain. It’s just right to go now The third section: Huangyusi Village-Reclining Buddha Temple-Jingye Temple Crossing the sea of ​​white cuckoo plum blossoms, we headed all the way towards the Reclining Buddha Temple and opened the famous “Three Temples Linking”. This section of the road is about 6 kilometers, and the whole journey is downwards, so the overall journey is relatively easy. However, there are gravel in some sections along the way, so hiking shoes are a must. From Huangyusi Village to Wat Pho Temple, it takes about 3 kilometers and takes 1 hour. The Reclining Buddha Temple is located on the top of Qingshan Hua, and is also a thousand-year-old temple with a long history. Its most magical location is that there is a reclining Buddha that is not known when it was excavated. This reclining Buddha is 11.6 meters in length and is known as one of the “Four Large Indoor Stone Buddhas in China”. Regarding the specific content of Wat Pho, you can read my other tourist article:The thousand-year-old temple in the Qinling Mountains of Xi’an, on the top of the cliff at an altitude of 1,300 meters, the five-story building is too magnificent There is a farmhouse below the Reclining Buddha Temple. There are two fork roads beside the farmhouse. One road goes to Qinghua Mountain and the other goes to Jingye Temple. Both routes can go down the mountain, we chose the latter. It is about 3 kilometers from Wat Pho to Jingye Temple and it takes 1 hour. Walking in the depths of the dense forest, we feel the beauty of Qinling’s spring greenery. Jingye Temple is the ancestor of Buddhism Law School, with a profound background. Friends who pay attention to me will find that I have visited Jingye Temple many times and recorded the cultural landscape of this thousand-year-old temple. But this is the first time I have come here, and it feels very different. When I arrived at Jingye Temple, it was already 6 o’clock in the afternoon. It takes half an hour to walk from the Jingye Temple to the bottom of the mountain, so I hurriedly bid farewell to it without taking a closer look. Before leaving, I was standing on the platform in front of the ancient temple and took a bird’s-eye view of Qinling 210 National Highway. You see, the Qinling Mountains at this time are already green. We started to enter the mountain from Huangyugou at 9 in the morning and left Jingye Temple at 6:30 in the evening. We walked violently in the Qinling Mountains for 10 hours. Although we were tired, we were full of gains. Encountered too many beautiful scenery, this trip is also considered to be a complete one. Finally, I would like to talk about useful travel information, friends who want to come can refer to: 1. From Xi’an to Shangwang Village, take bus 332/334 from Weiqunan Station of Metro Line 2 and get off at “Shangwang Village”. 2. Back to Xi’an from Jingye Temple, it takes half an hour to walk from Jingye Temple to Fengyukou 1km. From Fengyukou, take No. 735 to Huanshan Road, transfer to No. 332/334, and arrive at Weiqunan Station.

Taken in Ningbo, Zhejiang in April 2021. Friends who often read my articles must be familiar with Xiangshan, Zhejiang, so I won’t introduce them more. Before talking about today’s banquet, let me introduce the location of this banquet: Donghai Banbian Mountain Tourist Resort. The resort is located in Shipu Town, Xiangshan County. Because it is close to the East China Sea, surrounded by the sea on three sides and built on the mountain, it is named “East Sea Half Side Mountain”. The entire resort area covers an area of ​​8 square kilometers, with mountains, seas, forests, sandy beaches, islands and reefs, and small fishing villages. It is a tourist resort destination integrating various forms and is by far the largest in East China. An ecological comprehensive marine tourism project. The venue for today’s banquet was at the Huahai Sports Ground in Half Mountain Scenic Area. Rather than being a banquet, it is more accurately an experience of returning to nature. The activity of the day starts at 2 pm. The first thing that all guests attending the banquet have to do is to set up a camp. This is a very meaningful outdoor experience for people who live in the city all the year round. Everyone has set up the camp very carefully and hard. When sitting in the tent and lighting the fire, all the complicated life has been forgotten, and my heart is extremely calm and calm. Here, either chatting, or in a daze, or feeling the freedom in the mountains and forests, or helping to build an earthen kiln to make afternoon tea, wasting time extravagantly. However, everyone is willing and enjoys such waste. The good times always seem to go faster. The evening is approaching in a short while, the sky is slowly getting darker, and today’s highlight is about to be staged. Light the bonfire, wine and flowers are ready, waiting for everyone to sit down and taste the gourmet meal prepared by the five-star chef in the mountains. The banquet begins at 17:30 in the evening. This first dish is an appetizer consisting of smoked mackerel in apple wood, Liberian ham, aero-lemon cream and fried chives. This appetizer sounds like a lot of ingredients, but it is made into two short pieces of only 1 cm long. To say that the taste is quite good, the flavors of various ingredients blend together and complement each other, making the whole dish full and full. Paired with selected white wine is definitely a treat. This second course is soup. A wild vegetable soup cooked with Xiangshan local wild vegetables, fresh bamboo shoots, cordyceps flowers, and fish balls. The amount of soup in this bowl is also small, and it looks very ordinary, but its taste is refreshing and delicious, and it is a special occasion to taste this kind of soup in the mountains. The first course of the main course is pan-fried deep-sea prawns, paired with sweet and sour fermented rice, cuttlefish noodles, black truffle, coral flakes, etc. The ingredients of the whole dish are reasonably collocated, the plate is exquisite, and the taste is slightly heavier. It is a perfect match with the selected red wine. The first few dishes were done by the chef in the kitchen, and then served in the mountains and forests. Next, the main dish is grilled on the spot, and you can smell the scents floating in the distance while sitting at the table. This is the second main course, freshly grilled charcoal-fired Tomahawk steak, served with carrots, herb potatoes, pineapple, etc. I don’t need to say more about this smell, it makes people salivate looking at the pictures. The serving of Tomahawk Steak also pushed the entire banquet to a climax. Finally, this dessert is very creative, reflecting the chef’s skill and imagination. The starry sky, the sea of ​​clouds at the base is made of marshmallows, and the middle planet is a chocolate ball. After lightly tapping, the ball is divided into two halves with a cherry inside. The idea of ​​the whole dessert is really open, and I give the chef a thumbs up. The entire wild event lasted more than two hours. Everyone tasted food, tasted wine, talked about life, and talked about ideals. Here, they met good food, met good people and things, embraced nature together, and released the wild in their hearts. After dinner, the irori folk music reception opens. Everyone listened to music, tasted delicious whiskey, BBQ skewers, Wilderness Cinema, etc. Fireworks will be set off in the middle of the night. In short, this night is your wild. Seeing this, many friends have to ask how much it costs? Perhaps talking about money in this mood is a bit ruining the atmosphere, but I still want to tell you secretly: 2800 yuan per person. Some people may think it is expensive, but for those who pursue it, this is the lifestyle they want.

Illustrations: LE ANH. The road from the Tay village to Khuoi My, the village of the Ao Dai Dao is not very far, nor is it entangled with a steep and steep pass. The charming curves tighten the waist, slowly slack like an indigo lap. At times, the ears also buzzed, the neck was cold, but the clouds were able to calm them. The clouds here are warm like kitchen smoke in my friend’s house, wrapped around the body, hugging the mountain. Thanks to the altitude and humidity, which is different from other localities in the region, the roofs on stilts in Khuoi My are mostly green and mossy. The moss from year to year is good, and when you go inside, it feels warm like a blanket of heaven and earth, the mountains and forests are already warmed, covering the roofs of the four seasons hidden in the smoke, wind and clouds. Khuoi My is small, dreamy as the name itself, like the embodiment of the mountain girl. There are a few dozen households in the whole village, taking a short walk is the end of the day, everyone whose voice is strong, speaking at the beginning of the village, the end of the village is clear. Many people still say that the green on the roofs here often evokes feelings of sadness and regret. Those who come, go and return to this place will see a different moss color in each season. The moss green was darker, deeper, the blanket felt on the roofs heavier by the pain and attachment. I personally do not have that feeling. I find love, tolerance and protection very close, warm, peaceful, and peaceful. In the green color of young moss, the yellow color of the old moss is wilting and peeling, there is the warmth of mountains, clouds and the air radiating from each roof. The house where the whole village has joined hands to support each other since childhood. Nobody rented, bought or sold anything. Every house built a house, carved the whole village to make the roof. The tighter the roof, the more durable the sentiment. People cut palm leaves to dry, someone sharpens something, someone knocked on that, for a while they should have a home. The visitors arrived, the man of Dao Ao Dai ethnic group still kept his hands on a big cast iron pan. He looked back excitedly pointing to the seat for the guests, mourning: “Try to wait for this batch, we will invite tea!”. His family has made tea for many generations, harvested from the old Shan Tuyet tea tree, the body is as big as two embracing adult arms. People who want to pick tea have to wear the baskets on their backs, and take half a day to climb the mountain. The drinking table made from a forest log has dozens of different pots in size, style, and material. It seems that enjoying tea in mountainous regions is also very meticulous, no less next to other regions. This white tea is as white as snow, still with curved leaves, plump buds. This tea bar is thinner, the background is radiating in the warm terracotta. In addition to the “tea tools” made of wood, bamboo, and all kinds of terracotta pots, porcelain, and china, there are also pots of cymbidium, mountain ginseng covered with purple and turquoise cotton buds. I do not know if it is thanks to “rewarding” the delicate, pure tea flavor every day, but coming to Cymbidium, mountain ginseng, the plants that only like to stick deeply rooted in the source are still healthy, green but flowering, buds. Only at the tea table, we saw the harmony of yin and yang, the people who enjoyed the tea were more serene and more relieved. Tea infused, the host slowly raised a small cup with both hands to invite guests, the guests called to the kitchen to invite his wife to enjoy tea. The woman rubbed her wet eyes from the smoke of the kitchen. Women in this region have very beautiful skin, are always tense, red, with slightly freckled cheeks, sting marks, but also adorn their beauty to become salty, deep. On the head of the Ao Dai woman, her hair is neatly buned at the nape of her neck, above her forehead is skillfully wrapped around like a brim of a crimson hat, blue fringes are hanging above. The beauty is like a small portrait, with wild banana petals holding green stamens waiting for the day to come, gently covering her silky black hair, and above that, green moss-like roofs like the echoes of mountains and forests.
