Lotus season

May arrives as the first rays of summer sunlight spread their golden glow across the fields, and the lotus ponds of Tuyen Quang enter their most beautiful season.

Amid the lush green leaves, delicate pink lotus blossoms gently release their soothing fragrance into the peaceful countryside air. The lotus season not only softens the oppressive heat of summer days but also becomes a symbol of simple beauty, evoking the elegance and grace of the land and people of Tuyen. Across ponds now at the height of their bloom, locals and visitors come to admire the flowers, take photographs, and enjoy the tranquil beauty of nature in summertime.

In the open, airy landscape, the pink lotuses add vibrant touches to the peaceful yet lively rural scenery of Phu Linh Commune.
