Image
Da Lat city (Lam Dong) is famously known as the land of flowers. Precious petals can grow and bloom everywhere from parks, and gardens to roads and even in deep forests. Each flower season has a nuance, a separate story to tell its tourists. Among the myriad of different flowers, mimosa also has its own place not only in the hearts of locals in Da Lat but also with tourists. When tourists come to Da Lat in the early winter days, at this time the rains have stopped, they will have the opportunity to admire the golden mimosa flowers spread all over the streets of this mountain town. They will not help but be amazed by the beautiful little flower clusters. Photo: Plo.vn Mimosa’s scientific name is Acacia Podalyriaefolia Cunn Mimosaceae.

Photo: Goethe Institut Hanoi The film is a contribution from Germany to the “#It’s Time to Act-A Nature Film Festival” that is underway until October 7 in Vietnam. According to international film critic, “The Recycling Myth” sheds light on an industry that profits from the plastic pollution crisis instead of solving it.
