Dong Lam is located in Huu Lien commune, Huu Lung district, Lang Son province, about 150 km from Hanoi, along National Highway 1A. An emerging place on Vietnam’s tourist map has been given many nicknames by displaced people, including “Vietnam’s Mongolia” due to many similarities such as horses, grasslands with lush grass, and lakes The water is clear and blue… Apart from the dry season, which is the most beautiful season, the Dong Lam steppe is like changing clothes when the water is high, and the whole area is lush.

Hung Vi, a photographer and local guide, shared that the flood season in Dong Lam can last from a week to about a month or two depending on the amount of rain. Sometimes the water only rises for a few days and then recedes.

When it rains continuously, water from upstream flows through streams and accumulates in the Dong Lam steppe because this is the end of the stream. The low grass will gradually flood until the whole steppe is flooded with water, leaving only a few high grass fields and large trees halfway submerged, creating a completely new Dong Lam. The highest water level can rise to about 15 m.
