In March, the ancient capital of Hue transforms into a floral wonderland, where gentle drizzles and the soft warmth of spring give way to bursts of vibrant colors. As the city transitions into summer, flowers bloom in every corner, each carrying its own beauty and story, captivating both locals and visitors alike.

The fiery red of cotton flowers, the delicate purple of xoan (chinaberry) blossoms, and the golden glow of longan flowers paint a breathtaking landscape across Hue. By late March and early April, even more varieties bloom, adding layers of charm to the city’s scenery.

It is often said that when March arrives, Hue adorns itself in a brilliant floral tapestry, enchanting all who pass through with its colors and gentle fragrances.
