The entry of Le Duc Bao, a teacher of Bui Thi Xuan Junior High School (Nha Trang City) was like a portrait of the people and culture of Khanh Son District. In his work, the author depicted the cultural characteristics, beauty of simplicity of Raglai people, and the potential for economic growth of this remote area. More than a contest, Duc Bao considered it as an opportunity for those who love Khanh Hoa to express and share their emotions and experiences relating to this land as well as to suggest proposals and solutions to improve its tourism environment.
