The lotus represents the elegance, purity and resilience of the Vietnamese people, and also symbolizes Eastern culture and Buddhism.

The lotus petals are fragile, stacked on top of each other, quietly exuding a pure fragrance.

In the early morning sunlight, the lotus buds bloom with shimmering pink color, standing out among the green of the leaves.

The lotus ponds are in full bloom, fragrant and colorful, stretching from Uncle Ho's paternal hometown Lang Sen to his maternal hometown Hoang Tru.

Besides the red lotus ponds there are also white lotus ponds.

Lotus flowers planted at the President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Kim Lien are also blooming.

Lotus vases appear, creating a highlight for the Countryside Market in Kim Lien commune, welcoming the Lotus Village Festival in 2025.

The lotus tree is witnessing and contributing to changing lives, changing the face of the countryside, accompanying people in socio -economic development. Many products processed from lotus trees are certified by the People's Committee of Nghe An province as OCOP products such as: lotus heart tea, lotus leaf tea, lotus rice tea, butter-dried lotus seeds...

In recent years, the lotus growing area in Kim Lien commune has expanded significantly.

Lotus flowers not only beautify the landscape, contribute to increasing income for local people, but also attract many tourists when visiting Uncle Ho's hometown.
