Without elaborate staging, Legendary green land follows the spontaneous yet emotional footsteps of two familiar storytellers: Minh Tuyet and Dieu Hien. Leaving behind the dust and bustle of the city, the program takes viewers deep into the heart of the Dong Nai Nature-Culture Reserve.

Here, the camera captures the untouched beauty of the landscape, where every sunbeam and blade of grass pulses with vibrant life. As the program’s message expresses: "When walking in the primary forest, touching each tree trunk, it is also the moment when one clearly feels the rhythm of nature spreading within oneself."

It is a tranquil journey, free of noise, where only birdsong, murmuring streams, and the precious stillness of nature remain, allowing the soul to truly relax.

The special highlight of this episode is not only nature, but the harmony between the green of the forest and the red of memory. Viewers will join the guests, Bui Van Toan (Deputy Director of the Centre for Ecology, Culture and History of War Zone D), and guides Vu Thi Mai Thi and Le Nhat Minh Quan on a journey back in time to the heroic years.

At the relic site of the Base of the Southeast Region Party Committee, names such as the Hoang Cam stove, the Suoi Linh Tunnels, military medical shelters, and trenches... come to life through the narration of forest keepers, appearing as vivid witnesses of history. Through these stories, viewers will understand why the forest of War Zone D was once a steadfast "shield" that protected the revolution, and why today, it stands as a symbol of revival.

For travel enthusiasts, the episode airing on December 22 also serves as a convenient pocket guide. The program unveils unique combined tourism routes that are currently “hot” in Dong Nai. Tours such as “Admiring the poetic, vast beauty of Tri An Lake,” “Visiting the gentle Hieu Liem deer and elk breeding village,” and “Exploring the stone park and the system of rare medicinal plants” gradually unfold.

Without giving too much away, Legendary green land will undoubtedly inspire you to pack your backpack and set off as soon as the program ends. It delivers a message of love for nature, respect for the past, and a sense of responsibility to preserve the “source of life” for future generations.

Don’t miss this special journey! Legendary green land promises to be a visually stunning film about the “green lungs” of the South.
