<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSometimes visitors ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Do you know anywhere more beautiful?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I usually smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And reply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Yes, but we won’t go there.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some people are surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some feel it is a pity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some even say: \u00ab\u00a0Why keep it?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I do not quite know how to explain it fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only that if today I take one more group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tomorrow another group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Perhaps I will be the first person to destroy the place I once loved.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTay Con Linh Primeval Woods<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>I do not want to be the person who opens every path<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWorking in tourism is sometimes very difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because everywhere beautiful has value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that value can be exchanged for money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But not every value should be exchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some paths I can walk alone and that is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some forests only need to be known as still peaceful \u2014 that is enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some viewpoints do not need coordinates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not need naming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not need to appear on a map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think nature also needs its own private space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>We will choose to step one step back<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSomeone will ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0Doesn’t that mean missing opportunities?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Certainly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I think if a business only knows how to open more paths without knowing when to stop, sooner or later there<\/p>\n\n\n\n
will be nothing left to open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do not want to be the operator that has brought the most people to a place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I only hope that ten years from now when I return, the place is still nearly as it was the first day I stepped there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If that means there are a few places we will never sell as a tour,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think that is completely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Some secrets are not held for keeping<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMany people think I am keeping secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Actually, I am not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am only keeping a promise to the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A promise no one required of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That not everything I know needs to become a product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not everything beautiful needs crowds to come and admire it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not every path needs more footsteps.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome secrets are not held for keeping<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/span>The most precious thing is not the place you have been<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNow, if anyone asks me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab\u00a0What is the most beautiful place you have ever been to in Tay Con Linh?\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will probably not answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not because I am afraid of others knowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But because I hope that many years from now, that place will still be a forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still with birdsong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still with running water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still with old trees standing in quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And perhaps someone else will sit there for a very long time, in front of that forest, just as I once did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Needing to bring nothing home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only the feeling that some beauty in this world is still intact because someone once chose not to open one more path.<\/p>\n\n\n

Many people think the more places you know in tourism, the better. I used to think that way too. When I first came to Tay Con Linh, whenever I heard there was a beautiful waterfall somewhere, an old-growth forest, an ancient tea tree, a wide viewpoint \u2014 I wanted to go.
