Two rows of ancient pine trees on the road near Bien Ho, Pleiku, Gia Lai become an indispensable destination for tourists to visit in the mountain town.

Nested in the romantic Bien Ho tea area, about 10 km from the centre of Pleiku is the road under the hundred-year-old pine tree that is loved by young people. Many people call this place "Korean road" (due to the resemblance to scenes in Korean romantic movies). On the north bank of Bien Ho (T'Nung Lake), Bien Ho tea is taken after name of the immense tea hill.
