Admire cherry blossoms in Dalat

Cherry blossoms in the suburbs of Da Lat have bloomed.

The cherry blossoms in the Langbiang mountain area, about 15km from the inner city of Da Lat, have begun to bloom. Here, the cherry blossom cluster named Mong Dao Nguyen by the locals has attracted the most attention. The flowers here bloom earlier and more strongly than the cherry blossom trees growing on the slopes of Langbiang mountain and the neighboring small hills.

It is not easy to reach the cherry blossom clusters in Langbiang Mountain. Therefore, most of the visitors are young people, traveling by motorbike and off-road vehicle.

To enter Langbiang mountain area to see flowers, visitors travel by all-terrain vehicles.

The area where cherry blossoms bloom earliest is probably Lac Duong district (near Da Lat). This is an area with a higher altitude than Da Lat and also a larger temperature range with more sunshine. This is what makes cherry blossoms in this area bloom earliest. Many tourists have come to Da Sar, Da Nhim, 20-30km from Da Lat, to take pictures of the flowers.

Currently, Da Lat is sunny - cold with a large temperature range, dry weather, very convenient for cherry blossoms to bloom evenly and brilliantly. Many people believe that Da Lat will have a brilliant cherry blossom season in the next 10 to 15 days. The blooming season coincides with the time near Tet, also affecting Da Lat tourism.

Tourists coming to see flowers in Langbiang mountain are mainly young tourists.

Mr. Tran Dinh Nguyen (hotel manager in Ward 9, Da Lat) said: "Many accommodation establishments said that this year, in addition to receiving room reservations for Tet, there are many tourists booking rooms for the period before Tet. Tourists often ask if the cherry blossoms have bloomed yet."

Currently, on inner-city roads with many cherry blossoms such as Tran Hung Dao, Tran Quoc Toan (Xuan Huong Lake), Tran Nhan Tong - Dinh Tien Hoang street (around Cu Hill, Da Lat), most of the cherry blossoms have lost all their leaves and are about to bloom.

The scientific name of cherry blossom is Prunus Cerasoides, the tree trunk has a peach-plum shape, but when it blooms, it has a single 5-petal flower (like apricot blossom).

People often call the cherry blossom the flower that announces Tet, because around mid-January is the time when the cherry blossom blooms to welcome spring. That means at the beginning of the dry season (around October), the cherry blossom will gradually turn yellow and have "bare" branches and trunks that hibernate, waiting for spring to come to bloom. The scientific name of the cherry blossom is Prunus Cerasoides , the tree trunk has a peach-plum shape, but when the flowers bloom, they are single flowers with 5 petals (like the apricot blossom). Therefore, the cherry blossom is called as it is today.
