Hanoi – the capital is always in favor with beautiful flower seasons.
The first month – excellent peach flowers
On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, in spring, we again encounter the image of the flower growers carrying the peach flower branches on the old bike and going on the streets to sell them. Looking at the flimsy petals fluttering in the drizzle, people suddenly feel strange by spring began to knock every door.
Not only decorating the space for New Year’s Day more cozy and cheerful, peach blossom also has many layers of meaning.
First of all, the peach flower is considered the essence of the Five Elements, can banish demons and bring to people peace and happiness.
Not only that, the peach blossom also represents the proliferation. Everyone wishes to have prosperity, wealth, happiness for the family. Peach blossom is like the heart of faith, the hope for the good in the future.
The beauty of this flower also symbolizes the girls of the North: gentle, beautiful.
Mentioning the land of peach blossoms, you can not forget Hanoi. The peach blossom is grown in many places in the North, but it is said that the most famous flower of Tet is still Nhat Tan – Hanoi. In every spring, visitors of Hanoi street food walking tour and Hanoi street food tours not only come to Nhat Tan to admire flowers, scenery, or choose their own flower branches for a happy new year but also to record the best photos with the peach blossom.
The second month – purely white sua flowers
For each occasion in the late second month and early third lunar month, Hanoi again became bright with pure white flowers.
The flowers are beautiful but the flower season is short, the flowers bloom very fast, but they are also dying fast. Only after one night, the flowers have blossomed like a surprise. But they then quickly fall down by the wind, spring rain, giving way to the green of leaves.
The third month – flaming bombax ceiba flower

Cotton blossoms as the fireworks that have been associated with the childhood of many generations. The blooming of bombax ceiba signs the end of spring and the start of the hot summer days.
