This flower species belongs to the cherry blossom family but shares the color of Japanese sakura, hence collectively known as cherry blossom. The tree trunk resembles that of a plum, while the flowers, with five petals, resemble plum blossoms.
Cherry blossoms often bloom simultaneously, enhancing the beauty of every corner of the city. At the beginning of the dry season around October each year, the trees gradually shed their leaves, leaving them bare. As the seasons transition in mid-January, cherry blossoms bloom, signaling the arrival of spring.

The cherry blossoms, a result of successful cultivation by the Hoang Lien National Park in Sa Pa, originated from Japanese cherry blossom seeds. However, the cherry blossoms in the Sa Pa mountains of Vietnam tend to bloom early, welcoming the New Year with their blossoms. From bud to bloom and withering, the entire process takes place within a month.
You can discover the Japanese cherry blossom trees planted within the premises of the Sa Pa district People's Committee, adjacent to the central park lake, and the Ham Rong mountain area or behind the stone church in Sa Pa.
