As the final days of the lunar December slip away, street corners, parks, and public gathering spots in Hue are dressed in vivid blooms, heralding the arrival of Binh Ngo Spring. In the mild, lingering chill of the year’s end, the city takes on a new charm, bright yet gentle, warm in its own way.

When the clock strikes the transitional moment between the old and new days, many street corners in Hue are still bustling with late-night diners. They are mostly young people, students, and tourists who have contributed to preventing Hue's street corner from sleeping early.

Hue puts on the most brilliant red shirt of flamboyant flowers in late June and early July. The roads, street corners, and rice fields are all adorned with the fiery colors of flamboyant flowers. That red color gives Hue a brilliant and captivating beauty.
