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.
