Phan Dinh Phung Street is known as one of the most romantic roads in Hanoi, with ancient dracontomelum trees along the sidewalks. The road is especially nice in the autumn, when the trees shed leaves.
Along with famous tourist sites, visitors to the capital Hanoi are always impressed by its different flower seasons. While the lotus is an iconic feature of the city in the summer, hoa sua (white milk flowers) is an autumn highlight.
Ban Gioc Waterfall in Dam Thuy commune, Trung Khanh district is a ‘pearl’ of Cao Bang province’s tourism. After heavy downpours, in the autumn, the waterfall sparkles in the sunshine and its crystal streams flow down the mountain, a picturesque and astounding scenery.
