Visitors to the Huong Pagoda complex in My Duc District, Hanoi, at this time of the year, the third and fourth months of the Vietnamese lunar calendar, can witness the most beautiful red cotton flowers blossoming.
During this season, the ancient red cotton trees along the Yen spring leading to the complex’s Thien Tru pagoda and Huong Tich cave are showing up their most brilliant flowers, creating such stunning scenery.
Visitors can take a boat along the river to see the beautiful flowers along the riverside or sit in the cable car and view the red flowers below.
