Rice trees are also known as Moc Mien or Hong Mien. For people in the Northern region, the vibrant red rice flowers are a familiar sight. Rice trees bloom only once a year, during the early warm days after the spring rains, inspiring many Vietnamese musicians and poets.

The appearance of rice flowers marks the end of the cold winter days and heralds the arrival of the radiant rays of summer. Clusters of bright red rice flowers adorn the sky against the backdrop of the blue sky. The petals spread out larger than a hand, remaining intact even as they gently fall.

When in Hanoi, if you want to admire the vibrant red rice flowers, you must visit:

Huong Pagoda

This place is renowned for its picturesque landscapes and romantic rivers. Huong Pagoda is the largest temple complex in Northern Vietnam, attracting numerous locals and tourists alike during the Lunar New Year to pay respects to Buddha. However, in April, as the weather transitions, many visit to admire the spectacle of rows of vibrant red cherry blossom trees.

Embark on a small boat from Duc Wharf along the Yen stream to Huong Tich Cave, where you'll be enchanted by the stunning rows of cherry blossom trees adorning both sides of the stream. The idyllic scenery of mountains, rivers, and blooming red flowers makes this place even more enchanting and dreamy.

Tram Pagoda

Located more than 20km from the capital city center, Tram Pagoda is an ideal destination for many travelers. Not only does it boast ancient and unique architecture, but it also offers breathtakingly majestic and poetic views of Tram Mountain.

Perched atop Tram Mountain, also known as Tram Peak, Tram Pagoda is one of the most revered temples in the western part of the inner city. With its ancient architecture and spiritual significance in the Northern region, Tram Pagoda offers a truly remarkable setting. Behind the temple lies the majestic mountain, while in front, there's a vast lotus pond surrounded by ancient towering trees. During late March, the area around Tram Pagoda is adorned in vibrant red cherry blossoms, making the scenery even more picturesque and serene.

Doan Nu Village – Along the Day River

Doan Nu Village, located in An My commune, My Duc district, south of the city, is where you'll often find solitary rice fields stretching endlessly. Perhaps that's why Doan Nu Village is the perfect destination for photographers who adore cherry blossoms.

Here, you'll marvel at the long rows of cherry blossom trees lining both sides of the road, creating a stunning sight. The cherry blossom road in Doan Nu Village becomes bustling during the transition months of March and April, as people come here to admire what seems like lifeless dry branches coming back to vigorous life during this season.
