Hanoi beautified with flowers

Sua flowers have become a symbolic type of flower in Hanoi each March, which helps to beautify the city in cool and rainy weather.

The cool and wet weather of spring is the time for sua flowers to be in bloom.

Each bunch of flowers looks like snowflakes, making streets radiant.

This year, sua flowers are in bloom later than usual.

The little flowers are carried on the wind.

Blooming only for a week once a year, these flowers charm many hearts.

In Hanoi, sua trees are planted mainly at Lenin Park, Thong Nhat and Thanh Nien Parks; and Dien Bien Phu, Phan Dinh Phung and Lang Streets.

Together with grapefruit flowers, sua flowers are considered the typical ones of March.
