During the New Year holiday this year, a large number of tourists had the same destination - Mang Den Town, Kon Plong District, in the central highlands’ Kon Tum Province, to admire the blooming cherry blossoms showing off their colours.
While spring atmosphere still lingers in the Central Highlands city of Da Lat, cherry blossom begins blooming, painting the city landscape in pink. Known commonly as sour cherry or wild Himalayan cherry, these cherry trees thrive in a temperate climate. In early winter, the trees typically shed all their leaves, then hibernate about two weeks before blooming for around one to two months.
Cherry blossoms, a distinctive flower of Japan, are now in full bloom on a flower island in the heart of Pa Khoang Lake in the northern province of Dien Bien. The Cherry Blossom Island has become a popular destination among tourists during the early days of each new year.
