A glimpse of poetic Hanoi amid leaf-changing season
VOV.VN - This August visitors to the capital city of Hanoi during the leaf-changing season will have the chance to enjoy romantic and poetic scenes.
In early August each year, a variety of typical trees in Hanoi such as the Cây móng bò (Bauhinia tomentosa) begin to change their leaves, dressing the capital in a colourful and charming coat.
On many streets, including O Cho Dua, Nguyen Du, Hoang Cau, Thanh Nien, and Thanh Nhan, the trees shed their leaves in unison, creating a romantic scene reminiscent of a corner of Europe.
Many leaves falling on the sidewalk evoke a romantic scene just like in a movie.
Cây móng bò, a popular tree widely planted in urban areas, typically grows 10 to 15 metres tall. It features a light grey trunk, lush foliage, and low branches that spread to provide ample shade.
Each leaf has a long stem and is highly effective at absorbing dust and purifying the air.
The tree provides shade that keeps passers-by cool and comfortable.
The leaf-changing season of the trees usually lasts for a few weeks.
Trees on Thanh Nhan street bring a cool atmosphere for local people to enjoy.
