At the start of the New Year, the Mang Den Plateau in Kon Tum Province has been dyed light pink thanks to the blooming cherry-like apricot blossoms.

In the cold weather conditions, thousands of cherry-like apricot blossom trees on the Mang Den Plateau are reaching full bloom, making the venue more inviting to both domestic and foreign visitors.

This type of flowers lives in a temperate climate and needs a low enough temperature to bloom. According to the flower life cycle, in late autumn, the cherry-like apricot blossom trees shed its leaves, then "hibernate" for about 2 weeks before blooming, and their blooming period often lasts for 1-2 months.

In Mang Den Plateau, visitors can find cherry-like apricot blossoms all over the streets of towns, villages and tourist areas such as Dakke Lake, Pa Sy Waterfall, E Ban Farm, and Mang Den Dai Ngan Farm.
