Admiring the bright red cotton flowers blooming next to famous pagodas in Hanoi
Việt Nam•04/04/2024
The period from mid-March to early April is when the kapok flowers in Hanoi are in full bloom. On weekends, people in the capital often visit two famous temples, Thầy Pagoda (Quốc Oai district) and Hương Pagoda (Mỹ Đức district), to pray, enjoy the scenery, and admire the poetic kapok flowers in bloom.
The ancient kapok tree at Thầy Pagoda has begun to bloom, painting the thousand-year-old temple in vibrant red.
The kapok flowers are like a promise, attracting tourists from all over to visit.
The kapok flowers are characterized by not growing close together, but they all bloom in vibrant red at the same time.
When the kapok tree is in full bloom, its leaves fall off, and the entire tree is ablaze with red blossoms, making it easily recognizable from afar.
The red kapok flowers stand out against the blue sky of early summer.
The kapok flowers bloom only once a year, so everyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to capture photos during this "seasonal transition" of nature.
People come to Thầy Pagoda to take photos with the kapok flowers, using the lake and the unique architecture of the pagoda as a backdrop.
Beside the Yen stream, the kapok flowers bloom in vibrant red in the mountain crevices on the way to Huong Pagoda.
The red blossoms of the kapok tree bloom amidst the picturesque landscape, creating a poetic scene beside the famous temple.
