Over the past few days, Son Tra Peninsula has witnessed a surge of young visitors from Da Nang, drawn by the latest social media craze surrounding the "Dai Li" (Dali) trend. This trend, which emphasizes visually stunning backdrops for content creation, has overtaken various cities across Vietnam, but it is particularly thriving around the scenic roads of the peninsula.
Young tourists are flocking to the area, especially the Cang'er Grand Road, known for its breathtaking views and perfect lighting conditions for photos and videos. The trend has reached such popularity on platforms like TikTok, prompting throngs of young people to document their adventures with bright smiles as they stroll down the picturesque slopes.
According to local resident Vo Thi Thanh Lan, 27, ``The road here is beautiful just like the original backdrop. I can shoot satisfying videos without traveling far.'' Her experience reflects the sentiment of many who find the site to be not only accessible but also stunningly photogenic.
Starting around 3 PM, the once-quiet roads have transformed. They now bustle with groups of teens and young adults, all eager to capture the ideal shot for their social media feeds. Nguyen Thi Hong Anh, 20, shared her enthusiasm: ``My friends and I seize our free afternoons to shoot videos to post on TikTok to experience the 'virtual life' for a bit. We filmed together, keeping an eye on traffic.''
With its steep slopes and twisting curves, the roads to Son Tra Peninsula can be challenging, but this does not deter bold explorers. The excitement of creating online content often outweighs any potential risks, as long as caution is exercised. The crime of missing the chance for viral fame, after all, is more painful than any minor traffic concern.
