Yen Stream is enchanting in autumn.

Yen Stream is located within the Huong Pagoda scenic area in Huong Son commune, My Duc district, Hanoi. From the center of the capital, it takes about two hours to travel the 65 km distance to reach it. This stream, which flows into the Day River, is also called Yen Vi, because its shape resembles the wide, fanned tail of a swallow.

Yen Stream is approximately 4 km long, carrying visitors from Duc Wharf to Huong Son. Because it is the only waterway to reach Huong Pagoda, during the Huong Pagoda festival at the beginning of the new year, the stream is crowded with boats traveling back and forth. The bustling, noisy, and crowded atmosphere makes it difficult for visitors to fully appreciate the scenery along the stream.

Therefore, to fully appreciate the picturesque beauty of this place, you should visit Yen Stream in the autumn. At that time, the stream regains its inherent romantic and tranquil charm. You will feel as if you are immersed in a truly poetic ink painting.

The crystal-clear water flows gently and peacefully amidst the lush green hills. The weather is slightly cool, the blue sky is dotted with white clouds, and a few drops of golden sunlight fall. Perhaps the biggest plus point is the tranquility and peace that permeates the space. The cool, comfortable atmosphere, free from crowds and hurriedness, makes visitors feel at ease and captivated, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the scenery.

In particular, September to November is considered the season of blooming flowers, when water lilies bloom profusely along both sides of the stream. The beauty of this rustic yet elegant flower blends perfectly with the natural scenery of this place. The pink and purple hues covering the stream make Yen Vi beautiful, simple yet captivating, drawing the gaze of anyone who sees it.

In autumn, Suoi Yen is also an ideal destination for tourists who enjoy photography. To capture unique photos of blooming water lilies, you should choose the time between 6-9 am, on slightly sunny days.

As dawn breaks, the vibrant water lilies welcome the morning. The water lilies rise about 10-20 cm above the water's surface; their young leaves are reddish-brown, gradually turning a glossy green, floating gently on the water. By midday, they close up to rest, awaiting the new day's sunlight.

Additionally, many people choose to rent a boat to take graceful photos amidst the calm water, while leisurely cruising and admiring the "fairyland" in a truly peaceful manner. For about 90,000 VND per person, you can enjoy a scenic boat trip, feeling as if you've wandered into a magical fairy tale.

Taking a boat ride along the small streams leading to the foot of the mountains, you'll discover even more picturesque scenery. Furthermore, try touching the water, the soft petals, the tender leaves—do you feel as if autumn has just slipped through your fingers?

Majestic mountains, lush green forests, clear streams, and vibrant water lilies – the beauty of Yen Stream during the water lily season offers visitors moments of tranquility, serenity, and inspiration. Those who have been here are sure to cherish many unforgettable memories.
