Lotus flowers in full bloom attract people to take photos and check in.

At this time of year, many lotus ponds in Ha Tinh are in full bloom. Besides providing income for households, the lotus gardens have also become ideal destinations for locals and tourists to take photos and preserve memories.

In Hoi Minh village (Dan Hai commune), Mr. Vo Van Hien's lotus pond, spanning over 15,000 m², is in full bloom, displaying its delicate pink blossoms against a backdrop of lush green leaves. The lotus flowers not only beautify the landscape but also create a clean, peaceful ecological environment.

The lotus flowers are at their most beautiful in the early morning and around midday. At these times, the petals fully open, displaying their delicate pink hues in the sunlight, creating a scene that is both vibrant and pure.

Favorable weather provides an opportunity for many families to dress up and take photos, capturing beautiful moments by the lotus pond. Among these, the ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) remains a preferred choice due to its harmonious design and ability to accentuate the graceful beauty of Vietnamese women.

Ms. Vo Thi Thuy An (Dan Hai commune) shared: “I love photography and have always been passionate about flowers. Each flower has its own unique beauty, but for me, the lotus flower stands out because of its gentleness and purity. Every lotus blooming season, I often take the opportunity to visit the lotus pond to capture beautiful moments and feel the fresh, peaceful atmosphere there.”

Having the opportunity to personally pick her favorite lotus flowers, Ms. Le Huyen Trang (Son Tay commune) said: "I researched and planned ahead about a month so I could come at the right time, pick and buy the most beautiful lotus flowers myself. The feeling of being immersed in the lotus pond is very enjoyable."

The sight of lotuses in full bloom not only attracts tourists but also creates opportunities for many professional photographers to increase their income. During peak season, the demand for photography increases sharply, providing photographers with more work and improving their earnings.

The allure of the pure and serene beauty of the lotus flower entices many tourists to travel long distances to capture memorable photographs.

To get the perfect photos, many people are willing to go the extra mile, investing carefully in everything from clothing to accessories. This thorough preparation helps each frame become more harmonious and striking.

According to surveys, lotus flowers typically begin to bloom from May and last until around August each year. Besides their beauty, lotus flowers have many uses in daily life, such as: as an ingredient in culinary preparations (lotus tea, lotus seed dessert), and in beauty and medicine...

The innocent and adorable moments of children by the lotus pond contribute to making the summer scene even more vibrant. This is also an opportunity for parents to teach their children about the love of nature, to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the natural world around them.

The lotus gardens in Hamlet 15 (Thach Ha Commune) are also entering their harvest season at this time, with garden owners taking advantage of the opportunity to pick lotus pods for sale. Ms. Le Thi Hoa said: “This year's lotus season is quite favorable, so the yield is stable. We are taking advantage of harvesting lotus pods at the right time to ensure quality when selling them to the market. Besides harvesting, our family also creates opportunities for young people to come and take photos and experience the lotus pond space.”
