Exploring Hung Yen these days, you'll be amazed witnessing the vibrant golden fields of blooming sunflowers.
Embark on a mesmerizing journey to Hung Yen, where the charm of 'king sunflower' fields captivates the soul
Venture into Nghia Trai village, Tan Quang commune, Van Lam district, renowned for its medicinal herb cultivation before Tet, where visitors can immerse themselves in the vivid yellow patches on the fields, accompanied by the special fragrant scent of chrysanthemums (or locally known as 'king sunflowers').
From afar, along the road leading to the sunflower fields, you'll catch a glimpse of a sparkling golden hue over Nghia Trai village, stirring excitement and eagerness to witness the beauty of those sunflower fields.
Locals here plant chrysanthemums about 6 months before Tet, ready for harvest just before the festival. These slender-stemmed chrysanthemums grow in clusters like small globes. Despite not being as flamboyant as roses or as fragrant as lilies, the purity and simplicity of yellow chrysanthemums captivate many. Ranked among the 'Four Gentlemen' – pine, bamboo, chrysanthemum, and plum – chrysanthemums, especially this medicinal variety, are highly sought after.
To reach this field of daisy flowers from downtown Hanoi, simply cross Vinh Tuy Bridge and follow National Highway 5. Upon reaching the beginning of Nhu Quynh town, Hung Yen, you can stop and ask locals for directions to the golden daisy fields used for medicinal purposes; they will gladly assist you.
Along the well-trodden paths, gliding gently amidst the chrysanthemum fields in the early morning, you'll find yourself even more amazed as you closely admire the beauty of these flowers. Lightly touching the delicate petals, you'll be enchanted by the sight of chrysanthemums reaching out to embrace the warm rays of sunlight, dancing in the breeze.
Each tiny flower competes to showcase its beauty, emitting a subtle fragrance that creates a dazzling, poetic, and heartwarming scene. These days, the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, casting a golden glow across the fields, creating a picturesque and rustic landscape.
The end of the year is considered the best time to capture stunning images of these flowers. Clusters upon clusters of blossoms create a vibrant golden space, brimming with the vitality of spring.
Aside from photography, visitors can also participate in the experience of harvesting chrysanthemums with the locals. Many tourists come here to capture beautiful moments amidst the stunning golden daisy fields.
The field of golden daisies, though not vast in size, planted alongside various other winter flowers, still exudes a captivating charm, with its straight, neat rows of chrysanthemums attracting the souls of travelers.
Just pick a refined angle for your shot to create unique photos with these beautiful flowers. A small tip: the pathways between the flower beds can get quite muddy after watering, so be sure to pick a spot to admire the flowers and take photos to avoid getting your clothes and shoes dirty.
