Snow mountain lotus, also known as Thien Son Tuyet Lien, is known as the king of herbal flowers, rare, only blooming every 7 years, sometimes selling for 4-5 million VND/flower. Flowers usually bloom on mountain slopes at an altitude of 3,600 m - 4,800 m above sea level.

Snow lotus flowers in the high mountains, which are covered with snow all year round, have a shape similar to cabbage and are surrounded by green leaves. According to Baidu/CGTN.

The flower's pistil is dark purple and is considered a symbol of love because of its beauty and sweet fragrance. According to Baidu/CGTN.

Although the flower has layered petals like the lotus, the snow lotus is a herbaceous plant that grows about 15-35 cm tall. It usually blooms on mountain slopes at an altitude of 3,600 m - 4,800 m above sea level. According to Baidu/CGTN.

Snow lotus grows in an extremely harsh environment with temperatures of minus tens of degrees Celsius, harsh sunlight and thin air. According to Baidu/CGTN.

The special growing environment has created the rarity and unique medicinal value of this flower. Another characteristic that makes this “flower of the mountains and sky” rare and difficult to find is its extremely low productivity. According to Baidu/CGTN.

The growth process from germination to flowering takes an average of 6-7 years, making it difficult for consumers to find natural snow lotus on the market. According to Baidu/CGTN.

Tianshan Snow Lotus is rich in vitamin C, protein and amino acids that help nourish the skin, prevent aging, and prevent and support cancer treatment. According to Baidu/CGTN.

Dried Tianshan Snow Lotus is used to make wine, make tea, reduce cardiovascular and rheumatic diseases, help clear menstruation and promote blood circulation. According to Baidu/CGTN.

Tianshan snow lotus flowers are usually harvested when they bloom in July and August every year. According to Baidu/CGTN.

After being harvested, the flowers are left to dry in the sun for a period of time to preserve their medicinal properties. According to Baidu/CGTN.
