With every spring that graces the skies of Da Nang, hearts flutter and anticipation rises, heralding the arrival of cherry blossoms, vibrant and resplendent, as if signaling the advent of a new season, a season of transformation for the scenic beauty of the homeland, captivating the hearts of all.
Showcasing Beauty at the Ideal Altitude
Approximately 30 km west of Da Nang city, Ba Na – a renowned Da Nang tourist destination, stands as an ecotourism area with picturesque landscapes. The most enchanting, perhaps, is the cherry blossoms, especially at this altitude, where the newly bloomed blossoms release their fragrance, showcasing their beauty.
Every year, as spring arrives, it breathes new life into the landscape, with lush vegetation, an abundance of flowers, and cherry blossoms stretching and blooming like a myriad of small bells swaying on the hillsides leading to the summit of Ba Na.
Visiting Ba Na during spring, tourists can't help but be amazed by the overflowing scenes of pink, romantically beautiful cherry blossoms that captivate the hearts. The fragrance carried by the wind awakens every human sense, providing a serene and strangely peaceful feeling to this Da Nang tourist spot.
The name 'cherry blossom' was given by the locals living in this land due to the fact that the cherry blossoms, when in full bloom, resemble small, lovely pink bells hanging gracefully on the branches, echoing joy amidst the lush green buds and leaves.
Cherry blossoms belong to the Ericales order, magnoliopsida class, a small woody plant species with a height of about 5 meters, small leaves, hairless young branches, and especially found only at altitudes above 1400 meters. In Vietnam, they are usually only found from Thua Thien Hue to Khanh Hoa, with Ba Na considered the best place for their growth. Typically, cherry blossoms will wither within a month of blooming, allowing tourists to fully enjoy the beauty of this Da Nang flower.
Early in the morning, strolling along paths adorned with cherry blossoms, marveling at the flowers still adorned with dewdrops, pure and sparkling, reflecting the gentle morning light. Visitors can't help but feel enchanted, as if stepping into a fairyland while exploring Da Nang.
Entranced by the Alluring Blossoms
Visiting vintage-style houses reminiscent of old French architecture or the Linh Phong Pagoda, one of the newly inaugurated spiritual architectural structures on Chua Mountain in Ba Na, tourists have the pleasure of witnessing hundreds of cherry blossom trees planted here. The newly grown trees, brought from the forest, are flourishing, with some already in full bloom, proudly displaying their vibrant colors.
Due to the altitude, climate, and favorable natural conditions, caring for and cultivating cherry blossoms here is not too challenging but requires meticulous attention and dedication. Additional nutrients are carefully provided to ensure the well-being of the greenery. These blossoms are not finicky; they bloom naturally in spring without the need for extensive pruning or branch bending, unlike many northern or wild cherry blossoms.
What could be luckier than heading to Ba Na to explore Da Nang at the dawn of the new year, eagerly gazing at the cherry blossoms blooming like hundreds of small enchanting pink bells, radiating charm and allure, symbolizing countless blessings, happiness, and success for a new spring.
Art enthusiasts and photographers flock to this place, making it an artistic rendezvous. They never miss the chance to capture unique images of these beautiful and graceful flowers. Moreover, many couples choose this location to immortalize moments of joy and celebration, marking not only a new spring for the land but also a new season in each person's life.
If you have the opportunity to explore Da Nang in the spring, take some time to ascend to the top of Ba Na and admire those captivating pink bells.
