Butterfly hunting in Ma Da forest

Ma Da Forest is located in Dong Nai Cultural Nature Reserve, is one of the primeval forests with diverse vegetation, about 40 km from Ho Chi Minh City. In the Southern rainy season, the forest wears the hazy appearance of mist every early morning, attracting many tourists. Ma Da Forest is famous for the historical relics of War Zone D of the "Tough but heroic East". The beginning of the rainy season from June to August is the season for butterflies to multiply and fly across the forest, creating a beautiful colorful space. Butterflies in Ma Da forest gather in large, colorful flocks that blend with the green of the forest, making the space fantastic. Paparahunters roll and crawl to choose for themselves the most beautiful photo angles. Butterfly photography often chooses specialized lenses to capture the details of the butterfly. Sometimes lying down all day but still not having a satisfactory photo is common. Butterflies breed at the turn of the season, which is also the most ideal time for visitors to Ma Da forest to save beautiful moments of nature. Especially after the rain, when the sun rises, butterflies appear more and more. Many female tourists flock to Ma Da forest in butterfly season, bringing "props" to have poetic frames. Butterflies fly softly throughout the walkway, making visitors unable to take their eyes off. To go to the butterfly watching forest, from Ho Chi Minh City, visitors go to the center of Ma Da commune, walk along the road to the War Zone D Relic. According to VnE
