What's intriguing about the new lotus field in Long Xuyen?
People in An Giang have been growing lotus on rice fields for a long time mainly for harvesting purposes. If you adore this flower, you should catch it at its most vibrant during the peak lotus season, which is around late spring to early summer (from late March to June every year). Therefore, as it's currently the peak lotus blooming season, seize the opportunity to visit!
Despite being situated right in the bustling heart of Long Xuyen city, once you step into this lotus field, you'll fully feel the tranquility of a true countryside. No hustle, no bustle; the genuine lotus fields of the local farmers will lead you away from the city's dust and noise, allowing you to immerse yourself in nature.
The serene countryside scenery unfolds before your eyes with rustic rice fields, lush lotus ponds, and glimpses of low-roofed houses peeking through the trees. On sunny days, the vibrant pink lotus blooms exude a fragrant scent blending with the aroma of young rice wafting in the breeze. Near the mud but not foul-smelling, breathing in the countryside flavor truly brings an inexplicable sense of tranquility!
Some pointers for checking in at the lotus field
- Checking in at Long Xuyen lotus field is completely free. When you arrive, it's advisable to seek permission from the lotus garden owner before entering to take photos!
- Note that while taking photos, you must not trample on the plants, pick flowers, pluck leaves, or damage the lotus field in any way. If desired, you can spend money to buy lotus to both support the lotus garden owner (consider it an entrance fee) and use the flowers as props for your virtual experience.
- For beautiful photos here, it's best to come early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the light is most balanced and the sun is less harsh.
- The lotus field is currently in full bloom, but with the frequent harsh sunlight, it's advisable to equip yourself with sunscreen and a hat before coming here.
- Especially, make sure to dress appropriately to complement the stunning background here. It's recommended to wear bright, vibrant colors like white, yellow, or red to capture the most beautiful pictures.
