Nestled in Ba Trang Commune, Ba To District, approximately 60 kilometers away from Quang Ngai City’s center, Bui Hui Plateau offers an unspoiled oasis amidst Quang Ngai Province’s vast forests and mountains. Perched at an altitude of nearly 700 meters above sea level, the plateau boasts a refreshing and pleasant climate.

The journey to Bui Hui Plateau from the city center takes about an hour, leading travelers along a winding and occasionally bumpy road that meanders through rolling hills. However, upon arrival, visitors are greeted by the picturesque landscape that envelops the plateau. Standing atop the plateau, one can marvel at the grandeur of the hills stretching into the horizon. Idyllic valleys with red-roofed houses and golden terraced fields cultivated by the H’re ethnic minority group adorn the foothills. In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight cast a warm and serene glow upon the grasslands, creating an oasis of tranquility far removed from the urban hustle and bustle.

As visitors ascend the hill, the air becomes cooler and more invigorating. When night falls, a gentle breeze brings a sudden drop in temperature, creating the perfect conditions for outdoor activities such as overnight camping, stargazing, wedding photography, and group gatherings. Moreover, one of the most enchanting experiences is cloud hunting on Bui Hui Plateau during the early morning hours.

The best time to explore Bui Hui Plateau is during the summer and autumn seasons. In particular, May and June mark the blooming season of myrtle flowers, with their vibrant purple petals adding a striking contrast to the pristine mountains and forests, enhancing the area’s serene beauty. Bui Hui is also home to the H’re ethnic minority group in Ba To District, renowned for their captivating gong performances, a national intangible cultural heritage. This provides tourists with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the local culture and savor the cuisine unique to the region.
