March, when the trees change leaves, is one of the most blossoming months of the year in Hanoi. Walking along the city streets, visitors will be surprised to realise that Hanoi has all four seasons with every colour of flowers and plants.

Plants such as
Barringtonia acutangula and Giant Crape-myrtle change leaves at the same time.

From March, many roads
in Hanoi are covered with vibrant colors

Meanwhile, flowers of the perennial tree known scientifically as Dalbergia
tonkinensis or sua in Vietnamese usually bloom in late March. Hanoi’s streets
are adorned with pure white petals that few cities are gifted with.
The sporadic white of the early blossoms is a familiar sight to passers-by.

Grapefruit flower baskets appear on Hanoi’s streets and Hanoians can smell the
sweet scent of grapefruit flowers everywhere.
