A gentle Hanoi in the leaf-changing season

Hanoi dresses up in yellow, red and green as leaves change colors.

In the final days of February, Hanoi is wearing stunning colors as leaves change to yellow, red and green. The picturesque landscape is bringing peace of mind amidst the raging pandemic.

 In the area around Hoan Kiem lake, trees are gradually covered with yellow and red colors of leaves.

This is time when loc vung (barringtonia acutangula) and lagerstroemia speciosa change leaves at the same time.

A corner of the capital city is further embellished by the colorful leaves.

Landscape of Hoan Kiem lake in leaf- changing season is very poetic.

The streets are adorned with yellow and green leaves.

On the trees, mixture of yellow, green and red create a kaleidoscope.

The landscape of fallen leaves has left romantic memories on people of all ages.

Young people are taking snapshots with barringtonia acutangula changing leaves.

 The poetic scene only lasts about two weeks, then the leaves fall down and the first green buds appear.
