Located on K10 road in Cam Lam commune, the forest is nearly 40 km from Nha Trang's center and close to Khanh Hoa's coastal resorts. Spanning over 1 hectare, the forest features moss-covered melaleuca trees, lush green ferns, and sunlight filtering through the canopy, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

Nguyen Duc Hieu, a photographer based in Nha Trang, discovered the forest through a social media clip and visited in early August. The 27-year-old visitor was immediately captivated by the sunlight interacting with the greenery, creating a surreal beauty.
"I loved it here; it was even more beautiful than I expected," Hieu said.
According to the photographer, the forest has many easily navigable trails, a cool and tranquil atmosphere, and occasional sightings of squirrels foraging in the trees. After taking photos, Hieu spent about an hour making coffee, leaning against a fallen tree trunk, and gazing at the sky through the leaves.
Popular photo spots for young visitors include the entrance with its fallen ancient trees and the area with silvery-white melaleuca trees standing out amidst the green moss and ferns. The location's accessibility, not requiring much physical exertion or travel time, makes it convenient for preparing photo outfits.

The photographer suggests the ideal time for photography is early morning between 8-9 a.m. or afternoon from 2-3 p.m., when sunlight still penetrates the canopy. During these hours, the forest becomes radiant with dappled light, creating numerous enchanting scenes. Conversely, photography can be more challenging in low-light conditions.
Located near the road and primarily consisting of shrubs, the forest is difficult to get lost in. However, Hieu advises female visitors on their first trip to avoid going alone, recommending they go with someone experienced or a local. As a spontaneous check-in spot without attendant services, visitors should secure their vehicles, maintain cleanliness, and avoid littering to preserve the landscape for others.
