Visitors are recommended to drop by the site in the morning from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. or from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. to enjoy fresh air, avoid the scorching sun and admire herds of friendly sheep wandering on a huge meadow. Tourists can pay VND100,000 (nearly US$5) for a group of people to freely take photos and enjoy their time with the sheep. People might find it interesting to see some sheep looking for food or some cute baby sheep following their moms. According to a local sheep farmer, he can earn some extra income to let tourists in to take photos at weekends.   

There are around three herds of sheep with 150 items each in the locality. Normally, people will farm sheep for meat and fur but now the sheep are mainly for tourists to visit. Horses are also available for photo op.

Tourists are advised to be gentle with sheep when taking pictures with them.       It costs VND100,000 for a group of tourists to take pictures with a herd of sheep – Photos:  Kieu Giang
