Hanoi coated with charming look during flower season in March

Amidst the springtime in March, Hanoi is coated with a charming look as many beautiful flowers are in their blooming season. These include yellow tabebuia flowers, white ‘sua’ tree flowers (Dalbergia tonkinensis), and red cotton flowers.

The cotton tree is also known as ‘moc mien’ and ‘po lang’. The flowers usually bloom in spring before the young leaves appear.

The red colour of a cotton tree mixed with the white ‘sua’ tree creates a lively appeal in a corner of Giap Bat Street.

Over the past week, a 400-m road with rows of yellow tabebuia trees grown on both sides in an urban area in La Khe Ward, Ha Dong District, has become an attractive ‘check-in’ destination for Hanoians.

The tree, which is native to South America, is commonly called a golden trumpet tree. A yellow tabebuia tree is commonly 2m to 7m in height.
