At springtime, the capital of Hanoi is filled with the iconic pure white "sua" flowers, to the delight of Hanoians.
|
The city is stepping into the early blooming season of sua flowers |
|
The milk-white flowers are part of the childhood memories of every local |
|
"Sua" usually blossoms for around two weeks in the springtime |
|
The "sua" season usually announces the turn of spring into summer | |
|
The pure white of Hanoi’s "sua" is often compared to Japan’s ivory white cherry flowers | |
|
Hanoians refer to the flowers as the city’s snow-white peach flowers or tropical snow flowers |
|
Flower lovers usually rush to take photos as "sua" flowers bloom once a year | |
|
Once the season starts, the pure white flowers fill the city in no time |
|
The capital would not be the same without the iconic "sua" flowers |
