Cherry blossoms mark the coming of spring

No need to book a flight ticket to the far-away country of Japan to admire cherry blossoms in full bloom, that breathtaking scenery can be admired right in the Northwest Mountains of Vietnam. In spite of the freezing cold weather of Sapa, every year, their romantic pink shade signifies the advent of early spring in this mountainous region.

Originally, the hill serves as the local tea production. When the beauty of the hill in spring caught the attention of photographers, this oolong tea hill became a tourist attraction that attracts more and more visitors each year. From November to December, the bare branches are slowly adorned with ecstatic pink flowers, creating a dreamlike scenery that every visitor falls in love with. In the midst of the green tea hill, the flowers bloom all over the branches, turning the whole tree pink, and bringing attractive beauty to Vietnam's northwest mountains

Pay a visit to the 'cherry blossom paradise' on a clear afternoon, stroll around the romantic path, watch the sudden rain of flowers and free your thoughts in a moment of ecstasy - What could be better?
