Binh Lieu Reed Grass Season Tour 2 Days 1 Night
Highlights
The reed grass season in Binh Lieu begins in early winter, usually for a short period from late October to
mid-November. When the white reed flowers bloom in unison, it is also the time when Binh Lieu welcomes the first chilly autumn
breezes. When they first bloom, the reed flowers are pure white, growing in clusters. After some time, they gradually turn
yellow and drift away in the wind.
