Lotus blooming season

HNN.VN - The lotus is one of the beautiful symbols of serenity, peace, and tranquility. In Hue, the lotus blooming season usually begins in May and June, when the weather changes into hot and sultry days. This time also coincides with April of the Lunar year, the time marked with the significant event of the Grand Buddhism Celebration (Vesak).

The Imperial Citadel shines, the royal flowers converge Prolonging the life of nature’s bloom Bach Ma - Spring Flowers bloom Ancient chrysanthemums… Where are they now? Hue bustles with excitement for Tet

It seems that the “meeting” of the lotus blooming season and the Grand Vesak Celebration season makes the lotus flowers in Tinh Lake, Hue Imperial Citadel, or La Chu village even more peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful.

Hue Today Weekly would like to invite you guys to take a walk and admire the pure beauty of lotus flowers in Hue’s gardens through the lens of Tuan Kiet, a photographer. Let each blossom be a reminder of the lotus’s powerful lesson on life, being untainted in all conditions, overcoming difficulties, shining like a diamond, and achieving the purposes of life.
