Amazed by the butterfly chrysanthemum garden that 'dyes' the sandbank in the middle of the Red River yellow

Tourists flocked to the field of butterfly daisies at the foot of Long Bien Bridge (Phuc Xa Ward, Ba Dinh District) to take Instagram-worthy photos during the autumn days of November.

In late autumn, a small area near the sandbar at the foot of Long Bien Bridge becomes a popular spot for young people to take photos thanks to the appearance of a "forest" of butterfly daisies. Every morning at dawn, a large number of women gather to take photos in the early morning sunlight. Thousands of vibrant butterfly daisies blend with the sunlight to create a dreamy scene. Dozens of women, dressed in elegant gowns, waited from 5:30 a.m. to take photos for social media. With a passion for modeling, 18-year-old Thuy Hang didn't mind waking up at 4:30 AM to do her makeup, hair, and prepare her clothes for a photoshoot with butterfly daisies. "I immediately messaged my friend to come along when I saw the flower garden being widely shared on social media. When I arrived, I was even more excited and wanted to start shooting right away because the scenery was so beautiful," she shared. The beauty of the butterfly daisy fields has also become a source of inspiration for photographers to create art. The ideal time to take photos is at dawn when the sunlight is soft, or at sunset. At these times, the entire landscape is bathed in a mesmerizing golden hue. Frankie's family visited Phuc Xa flower garden during their trip to Vietnam after seeing it from the Long Bien Bridge. "Both my wife and children love taking pictures. This was a great opportunity for us to capture a photo of the flowers alongside Hanoi's iconic bridge," he said. Cosmos, scientifically known as Cosmos, is also called the starflower. It is a herbaceous plant, 30-40cm tall, preferring sunlight, tolerant of drought, and typically growing in clumps. The flowers are beautiful, ranging in yellow, white, or purplish-pink, and are therefore frequently used as ornamental hedges. Ms. Nguyen Thi Bach Yen (59 years old, Phuc Xa ward) enthusiastically trims each flower to encourage new shoots to grow quickly. "Twice a day, starting at 5:30 a.m., we are here to trim, water, and care for the flowers under the bridge. Having gotten used to the work, I find it less tiring and even more enjoyable because I'm contributing to changing the appearance of this place," Ms. Yen shared. Authorities erected warning signs to prevent locals and tourists from trampling on the flowers from the very beginning when this area became a popular check-in spot. New rows of cosmos flowers have been planted on the land that has just been cleared of trash. Ba Dinh District plans to develop the area in the middle of the Red River into a new tourist destination, combining it with other distinctive tourism products of the district to serve local people, domestic and international tourists. Currently, this location is open free of charge to all locals and tourists. In addition to the flower field, there is also a parking service available, priced at 5,000 VND per motorbike and 30,000 VND per car.

Previously, this area was filled with makeshift shacks, livestock pens, and garbage dumps, creating a messy landscape. With the desire to "revive" these barren lands, the Women's Union, the Veterans' Association, the Youth Union of Ba Dinh district, and residents of Phuc Xa ward joined forces to clean up and beautify the area, which was once a waste dump after Typhoon Yagi , by planting more flowers.
