Viola Pass

Vi O Lac Pass - a mysterious destination on Highway 24 connecting Kon Tum (the heart of the Central Highlands) with the coast of Quang Ngai province. This pass starts from Thach Tru intersection, Duc Lan commune, Quang Ngai and ends at Kon Tum city with a total length of about 50km. The pass peak is 1,300m above sea level, not only considered a symbol of the boundary between Quang Ngai and Kon Tum but also the weather dividing point between East Truong Son and West Truong Son. According to history, the original name of the pass is "Vi Ho Lak", but through word of mouth over time, people gradually got used to calling it Vi O Lak pass. Some theories suggest that this name comes from the Violet flower, however, here people only see one type of wild flower on the pass, the torus. It can be said that Vi O Lak Pass with its natural beauty and majestic scenery has become a must-visit tourist destination when you travel to Quang Ngai. Vi O Lac Pass, located in the heart of majestic mountains, is a destination that fascinates people with its wild and unique natural beauty. Although located halfway up the mountain, next to the winding trail are rows of tall, green and ancient trees. This has created a beautiful natural screen, helping the space of this pass become airy and windy. When standing in the middle of the pass at an altitude of 900m above sea level, with just a distant look, you will quickly be fascinated by a vast natural picture: immense green mountains, gentle Re river. Winding among the green carpets and especially in the ripe rice season are golden terraced fields located close to the stilt houses. All of these beautiful landscapes have created a poetic, strangely cute Vi O Lac pass scene. Every step up, every bend you pass, you will definitely feel the change in space and climate. In particular, when reaching the top of the pass in the early morning or evening, a sea of ​​floating, hazy white clouds will appear to cover the entire view, creating a mysterious and magical scene. Standing in front of that beauty, all worries and fatigue disappear, leaving only the soul soaring and light in the vastness of nature. Vi O Lak Pass can be seen as a vivid natural picture, a work of art of creation, where every moment spent here contains magical and memorable things. Vi O Lak Pass with its height and danger is always a challenge for those who want to conquer it. Especially, when one side is a majestic cliff and the other is an abyss with dangerous turns, choosing the right time to explore the pass is extremely important. The 6th lunar month of each year, when the sky begins to clear and the golden rays of sunlight become brighter, is the most ideal time for you to conquer Vi O Lak Pass. At this time, you will experience a clear blue sky, warm sunshine and at the same time admire the floating clouds in the distance. The ripening rice season at Vi O Lak Pass is also an experience not to be missed. Golden terraced fields shining in the sunlight mixed with stilt houses amidst the dim kitchen smoke, create a very beautiful and peaceful natural picture.

Sa Huynh salt field

Wearing endless beauty over time, Sa Huynh salt fields are a place for visitors to see the stretching salt fields, the beautiful white colors and feel the essence of the folk craft villages here. Located in Pho Thach commune, Duc Pho district, Quang Ngai, this is not only a salt field with more than 100 years of history, but also symbolizes the connection with the heritage and culture of this land. With more than 600 households and an annual salt output of 8,000 to 9,000 tons, Sa Huynh salt field is not only an important source of salt but also represents the spirit of traditional craft villages, blending with famous craft villages. Others like Hon Khoi and Ca Na are located along the Central region. Since the 19th century, Sa Huynh salt fields have witnessed more than 100 years of preserving tradition. However, salt making in Sa Huynh was not always known as a beautiful landscape. In the past, this place has gone through many ups and downs, from the "bitter salt village" when the effort put in did not achieve results, to the value of salt not being expected and the lack of local brands. But since the day the Intellectual Property Department issued the certificate of "Sa Huynh Salt" in 2011, everything has changed. Salt makers do not hesitate to invest and apply new production models, with Sa Huynh salt making on tarpaulin or cement floors. The results have shown an improvement in quality, with sand impurities reduced by up to 95%, output significantly increased and salt value increased by 20 - 30%. In particular, this new method helps shorten production time and change the landscape of the salt fields. To do this, 6 dikes with a total length of more than 5km were built, paving the way for the development and improvement of the salt fields. This proves the enthusiasm and will for progress of Sa Huynh salt makers, as they constantly learn and share knowledge, building a bright future for Sa Huynh salt grains. With more than 120 hectares of area, Sa Huynh salt fields are like a brilliant carpet, each small field interwoven with each other, understanding the delicate interaction between sunlight and sea water. The concrete and silver foil create a unique reflection of color, turning this beautiful scene into a field that sparkles like diamonds and attracts all eyes. White salt dunes spread evenly across the fields, like embodiments of mountain and forest nature. When the sparkling golden sunlight combines with the farmer's bamboo burden, the painting blends yellow and white to create a captivatingly beautiful scene, blending simplicity and charm, like a mysterious portrait. . When you enter the salt field, this is not only a famous Quang Ngai tourist destination, but also an interesting work of natural art from the hands of farmers. Right from 5 a.m., local farmers gathered to start an enthusiastic working day. They arranged seawater from canals and ditches into the bladder, then sprinkled bait salt and waited for the sunlight to crystallize the salt. Salt making in Sa Huynh requires 3 sun exposure to achieve white and large salt grains. This is an elaborate process, performed under intense sunlight, to create unique and delicious quality salt. In addition to the salt making experience, you also have the opportunity to see unique homemade motorbikes here. These carts, although old, have been converted to carry salt instead of being used for carrying loads. This has improved people's lives and created a sense of fun. If you have the opportunity, please shop and support these pure grains of salt, to see the care and love that people put into each grain of salt.
