There is a fragrant lotus season in Hue

Since ancient times, the lotus flower is a symbol of Buddhism, associated with the material and spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. Lotus is grown throughout the S-shaped curved strip of land. In the West, lotus flowers are concentrated in large fields in the countryside. But in the land of the ancient capital of Hue, lotus is grown everywhere, from the Hue Citadel to the remote suburbs.

There is a fragrant lotus season in Hue.

When the yellow phalaenopsis season ends, the purple mausoleum branch gradually fades, which is also the time when the first lotus blooms in Hue. The pure white lotus, the cool pink lotus, the cool green color of the leaves spread throughout the ancient capital, making anyone passing by be surprised and touched. If you have the opportunity to come to Hue in the summer, in addition to seeing an ancient city, you will also see a very different, gentler, more poetic Hue.

Under the sweltering sun, each lotus bud bloomed, adding brilliance to the lakes in the Hue Citadel. That is when the lotus buds reach out to welcome the glittering dew drops of the new day. That’s when it’s gentle and shy under the sunset sun. The shape is rustic, rising from the mud, but the lotus flower exudes a cool, captivating fragrance. Perhaps no other flower can evoke such a feeling of complete peace.

Hue often grows two types of lotus, white lotus and pink lotus.

Away from the busy city, visitors can stop at the peaceful countryside of La Chu village, Huong Vinh, Quang Dien… These are the places to watch the most beautiful lotus bloom in the suburbs of Hue. People here often grow lotus in the form of intensive farming, exploiting the infertile area and planting it alternately on rice fields, ponds and lakes in low-lying areas. In addition, the combination of modern techniques helps the lotus buds to bloom, bloom evenly, have a tall body, and a sweet fragrance spreads everywhere, making visitors feel relaxed and comfortable.

The lotus season in Hue will last until the end of June. Therefore, many young people have enlisted to find lotus ponds and take beautiful pictures. Besides, unlike many other places, Hue often grows lotuses for flowers and seeds, not for photography services. Therefore, if you happen to see a lotus pond on the side of the road, you can ask the garden owner’s permission to enter and take pictures for free. If you want to support, you can buy a few lotus bouquets to support the garden owner!
