Hanoi spring season — Charming photos of Hanoi in “Sua flower” season

Hanoi – the capital city of Vietnam is endowed by Nature with numerous featured flowers which you can only see in certain months.

Flowers of dalbergia tonkinensis (Hoa sưa) covers Hanoi with pure white color in March. The plant forms flowers in clusters with a great profusion of blooms.

When walking along streets, travelers realize that trees are carpeted with white flowers. It is the season of sua flowers. In March, streets are embellished with white sua flowers and this is also the season for birds to build their nests.

Sua is like soft and white cotton clouds covering the sky. They only flower once a year for a short time, usually two weeks and fade, so each year when they bloom, the youth of Hanoi often gathered these places, especially, Hoang Dieu street to pose with the beauty of these flowers. If you take a tour in Hanoi in the late February or early March of the lunar calendar, you will see a Hanoi shining with the pure white color of Hoa sưa.

Sưa flower is very beautiful but its time is rather short. Suddenly, when you wake up in the early morning, you will see a white color covering the sky like an unexpected gift. But the blossoms will soon be gone with the wind, leaving space for green leaves.

The pure white color goes so well with the vivid green color of many kinds of tender leaves. They paint a wonderful picture for us to enjoy. Looking at the masterpiece of Mother Nature, wouldn’t you think that you are living in a paradise?
