Lotus season in West Lake

This June, lotus ponds and marshes in the West Lake area (Tay Ho district) are bustling with the atmosphere of harvesting and taking pictures with flowers. The lotus grown here is a type of lotus with large flowers of 100 petals, the fragrance is unique to West Lake and cannot be found anywhere else.

Many lotus ponds in full bloom attract many tourists to take pictures and sightsee.

Having taken photos with lotus flowers in many places, Nguyen An Phuong (Tay Ho district) commented: “The lotus here has many petals, blooms bigger, and is more beautiful than in many other areas where I have taken photos. Besides, lotus of different colors are also planted here, helping us to have many beautiful frames.”

Mr. Tran Trung Thanh (Quang An ward) shared: “The lotus blooms continuously, so we have to harvest it every day to serve consumers and our family's tea-perfuming business. The lotus must be harvested at dawn, when the water surface is still slightly misty, to ensure freshness and preserve its flavor.”
