With so much to see and do in Quang Binh, some red maple leaves on a branch speak volumes for a journey here. Taking travel in spring, Doan Sang was surprised to see red-leaved maple trees. Binh Lieu is famous for the season of reeds and the climbing path like "dinosaur spine".

Dang Doan Sang, 28 years old, chose this place to depart his photo-hunting trip at the beginning of the year, on the 5th of Tet. Before coming to Binh Lieu, Sang and his group thought this was a mountainous border district, so the road was difficult, bumpy, and ugly.  

However, when they arrived, the group was surprised by the beautiful roads, winding mountains and many passes, but there were no sharp and dangerous u-turns like the Northwest. In his mind, Binh Lieu represents the best and must in his trip.

After returning, Sang posted photos on travel groups and received many shares, likes, and comments after returning. Sang was impressed with everyone's comments; most were interested in the maple syrup, red leaves and compliments on beautiful photos to motivate him to travel and take more photos.

To take impressive photos of maple leaves, Sang said he needed to find a tree of moderate height. Thanks to the travel community, Sang knew better that this was a maple, a type of maple native to Vietnam, which grows a lot in cold climates such as Cao Bang, Yen Bai, Son La.

Maple is a plant that produces many medicinal ingredients. Trees in cold countries will change colour enormously, but only sporadic leaves change colour in Vietnam and gradually fall. The smell of maple leaves spreads, giving a comfortable feeling to passers-by.
