During the blooming season, the pink grassland on Sy dike (Chi Minh commune, Tu Ky district, Hai Duong province) quickly became an attractive check-in spot, drawing many people to visit and take photos. According to many locals, no one knows when pink grass first appeared here. All they know is that it grew from a few small clusters of grass growing haphazardly in a corner of the dike. Now, it becomes an extensive grassland approximately one kilometer long and flowers brilliantly.
