Bau Lach Stappe lies as gently as a sleeping princess
Amid an endless primeval forest, an immense green
field of grass appears as gently as a sleeping princess waiting for the steps of
tourists to wake her up. The princess dresses up in natural green and entices
tourists, archaeologists and students to come to fly kites, ride horses or
elephants, walk for relaxation and camp out.
The grassland is named Bau Lach, in which Lach means grass in the language of
the ethnic Stieng people while Bau means small lakes or ponds where a type of
soft grass and species of snakes, fish, turtles and birds live.
Bau Lach is about 15 kilometers from Duc Phong Town, Bu Dang District, Binh
Phuoc Province. The magnificent green carpets reflect the glistening rays of the
sun and cover nearly 500 hectares. The grass here is mostly needle leaf grass,
growing not over 10 centimeters tall.
Bau Lach is studded with ponds that are home to many kinds of fresh water fish.
The steppe is not for residential living so once visiting, excursionists will
see the egrets that hover and sometimes perch on buffalos as they eat the grass.
Bau Lach is the pride of the ethnic Stieng people who ban hunting to protect the
wild life.
After strolling around the steppe, tourists can visit the villages of the Stieng
people to find out about their lifestyle, customs and culture. In the spring,
tourists can join the jubilant atmosphere of the new rice season festival which
includes traditional singing and dancing to the beat of gongs and the melodies
of pan-pipes.
Indulging in the green calmness of nature and letting the birdsong fill your
ears is a nice experience for tourists to Bau Lach..
