Romantic Hoan Kiem Lake in leaf-changing season

The picturesque landscape is bringing peace of mind amidst the raging pandemic.

On the streets of Hanoi in the first days of March, especially at Hoan Kiem Lake which is located in the heart of the capital city, trees are changing leaves, creating a romantic and poetic scene.

For anyone who has been to Hanoi on the days of the leaf-changing season, the beautiful and romantic capital city would be edged into his/her mind.

In the area around Hoan Kiem lake, tree tops are turning yellow and red, making the lake’s periphery colorful.

Hoan Kiem Lake becomes more gentle and romantic in the leaf-changing season.

The picturesque landscape is bringing peace of mind amidst the raging pandemic.

A corner of The Huc Bridge in Hoan Kiem Lake is further embellished by the colorful leaves.

The trees change their leaves twice a year, providing wonderful periods for Hanoians to take photos.

In just a week or two, it will turn green as the leaves will fall and fresh green sprouts will erupt.

As spring fades away and summer approaches, the green color of trees starts to turn red, orange, and yellow and all become visible.

In that poetic scene, the busy and hectic rhythm of the city seems to slow down.

Not only Hoan Kiem Lake, the old quarters are also dyed with unique colors of nature. Streets suddenly become gentle with yellow and green leaves.
