Selfies with the beautiful Tithonia diversifolia in Hanoi
Tithonia diversifolia is said to have been brought to Ba Vi Mountain in Hanoi by the French in the 1930s.
Many young people now go to Ba Vi National Park, about 50 kilometers from downtown Hanoi, to enjoy the poetic landscape of Tithonia diversifolia with the lovely yellow wildflowers on the slope to snap photographs to preserve their memorable moments.

The Tithonia diversifolia is in full bloom with thousands of the tiny yellow-almost-orange wildflowers in a wide swath of the park, stretching along the 12.5-kilometer roadside all the way to the top of Ba Vi Mountain. |
The Tithonia diversifolia usually blooms in the last two weeks of October or early November each year. This is the ideal time for visitors to see the wildflowers that are brilliant in the fall. |
Weekends are ideal for many people to visit Ba Vi Mountain to unwind, commune with nature, and explore the beauty of Tithonia diversifolia. |
The life span of Tithonia diversifolia is short, only one month. By mid-December, the wildflowers begin to fade. |
