In the early days of May, many streets around Hanoi are dyed purple by crape myrtle flowers, creating an incredibly romantic and peaceful scene.

Temperatures in Hanoi have been gradually rising and everyone can feel the summer approaching. This, however, is the most beautiful time of year in Vietnam’s capital. People seem to slow down to enjoy the transition.
Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam, is known for its rich history, cultural heritage, and beautiful landscapes that attract tourists. The city blends modernity with tradition, which can be seen in its architecture and houses that line the streets.
Every March, when the weather retains just a hint of cold as the season transitions, is also the time when Sua flowers, known scientifically as Dalbergia tonkinensis, bloom white along the streets and laneways of Vietnam’s capital Hanoi.
For many people, Hanoi is at its most charming in autumn, when the capital is dressed in graceful garb thanks to its nice weather, blue skies, golden sunlight, cool breezes, and falling yellow leaves. Autumn is the most suitable time for wandering around the capital’s beautiful streets, enjoying romantic moments.
