The aim of the festival is to make visitors acquainted with the amazing natural beauty of Lang Biang Plateau which turns pink this time of the year. The plateau and some of the adjacent areas are the only places where a special type of grass which turns pink when in bloom grows wildly. From the end of November though the beginning of December all the hilly areas in Dankia – Suoi Vang Lake, in Lac Duong town will turn pinkish making for amazing photo opportunities.
Besides admiring pinkish landscapes, the guests of the festival will be able to participate in the pink grass photo contest and witness a horse race, a traditional saddle-free race of Co Ho people who live in the area.

The quickest way to get from HCMC to Da Lat is by flight while an overland bus or car ride can take up to 10 hours.
