Hanoi is in the middle of spring, the weather is cold and wet, which favors the blooming of all kinds of flowers, including Japanese cherry.

| Cherry blossom or Sakura blooms brightly on the corner of Thuy Khue Street in Ba Dinh District, adorning the beauty of Hanoi in spring. |
|
| A cherry blossom, also known as Japanese cherry or sakura, is a flower of many trees of the genus Prunus. They are common species in East Asia, such as China, Korea and especially Japan. |
|
| In 1997, Japanese friends gave these plants to the people of Hanoi as a token of friendship between the two countries. |
|
At that time, about 100 prunus were planted in Viet Nhat Village on Thuy Khue Street, but different climatic and soil conditions kill many. |
|
Sakura is considered the national flower of Japan, omnipresent in everything from traditional Japanese painting to everyday household appliances, such as ceramics and furniture, among many others. |
|
| Arriving in Hanoi, the wonderful flower has captured the hearts of many Hanoians. |
|
| These Sakura bloom at the same time this year, not only gracing the streets of Hanoi but also bringing Japanese pride and culture closer to the city's people. |
|
| Cherry blossoms showcase their transient beauty amid humid and cold weather in Hanoi, epitomizing the strong spirit of the Japanese. |
|
| Their soft scent of blossom also brings vibrancy and optimism to this old street in the heart of Hanoi. |
|
| The cherry blossom season lasts only about a month. Don't miss the only opportunity of the year to admire the beauty of the blossoms. |
