Saigon is brilliant with bougainvillea and yellow scorpion flowers
Saigon enters April and begins to welcome the harsh, sultry sun. When the late spring weather appears, the streets in the center of Saigon begin to have the bright colors of bougainvillea and purple-flowered lagerstroemia bushes, dyeing a corner of the street.
The bright and fresh bougainvillea trellis is an image that is not difficult to find in Saigon during this time. Each delicate petal lies next to each other, creating a graceful flower cluster that decorates a small corner of the balcony, fence gate... Wandering in the deserted alleys of Saigon in the midday sun, encountering the elegant bougainvillea bushes, suddenly feels cool and refreshing.

Late spring is also the blooming time of the royal poinciana, also known as the golden scorpion. Royal poinciana is naturally considered the dominant flower on the central streets of Saigon, the clusters of yellow flowers swaying in the wind easily make passersby absent-minded. The flowers bloom almost all year round, but are most beautiful when immersed in the dry sunshine of March and April.

Sapa is vast in the color of rhododendrons
Sapa is also one of the attractive destinations this April. In the vast space of the mountains and forests, somewhere, visitors will see the pure white, fragile, gentle color of the Ban flowers or patches of rhododendron forests with many brilliant colors.
Every year, in March or April, all the roads of the Northwest mountains and forests are filled with the colors of the Bauhinia flowers. The green of the hills and forests combined with the white of this flower creates a harmonious, dreamy picture, attracting domestic and foreign tourists.

For those who have set foot on Sa Pa land in late spring, surely their hearts are filled with nostalgia for the rhododendron flowers of the Northwest land. |

If you want to see a whole forest full of rhododendron flowers in all colors of red, pink, purple, white..., you can take the cable car and look down the mountainside to see the flower forest hidden behind the mist. The brilliant colors of rhododendron flowers will let you feel their strong vitality on the arid land of Sa Pa.
Bauhinia flowers in Ha Giang
April in the Northwest, when the air is still a bit cold but there are weak rays of sunlight at noon, this place becomes a meeting place for adventurers who travel long distances to see the bauhinia flower season.
The white Bauhinia flowers are a pure, innocent color that touches the heart. The flowers bloom in small clusters covering the green canopy of leaves, a simple, rustic beauty that adds to the sad gray-green color that covers the rocky plateau almost all year round.

Bauhinia flower - a name unfamiliar to many people but is a typical flower of the Northwest mountains and forests. |
On the bumpy red dirt roads, next to sparse villages and wild mountains, fresh flowers grow like life constantly growing and signaling the arrival of the flood season in the Northwest highlands.
The flowers of the mountains and forests are only in full bloom when the rains of late spring and early summer cool the entire mountainous region. The flowers of the Bauhinia are strong, even when they fall to the ground, they still retain their original radiance. Looking at the Bauhinia flowers, I suddenly love the sky and the earth and life in this land more.

In particular, the season of Bauhinia flowers is also the season of love markets on the Dong Van stone plateau (Ha Giang), Khau Vai love market, Du Gia – Duong Thuong love market, Lung Lan – Son Vi love market… Those love markets only happen once a year, and can only be found under the pure white color of Bauhinia flowers. Thanks to that, Ha Giang becomes more and more beautiful in the eyes of adventurers.
