Chu Dang Ya extinct volcano has become the most attractive destination in Gia Lai, particularly at the end of the year when wild sunflowers are in bloom.

A lava mass dating back millions of years, weighing up to two tonnes, found on the volcano, has been considered as a symbol of the volcano.

The volcano, which has been inactive for millions of years, has a funnel-shaped crater.

Yellow wild sunflowers grow along the paths leading to Chu Dang Ya volcano.
