Cherry blossoms in the suburbs of Da Lat have bloomed.
The cherry blossoms in the Langbiang mountain area, about 15km from the inner city of Da Lat, have begun to bloom. Here, the cherry blossom cluster named Mong Dao Nguyen by the locals has attracted the most attention. The flowers here bloom earlier and more strongly than the cherry blossom trees growing on the slopes of Langbiang mountain and the neighboring small hills.
To enter Langbiang mountain area to see flowers, visitors travel by all-terrain vehicles.
The area where cherry blossoms bloom earliest is probably Lac Duong district (near Da Lat). This is an area with a higher altitude than Da Lat and also a larger temperature range with more sunshine. This is what makes cherry blossoms in this area bloom earliest.
Currently, Da Lat is sunny - cold with a large temperature range, dry weather, very convenient for cherry blossoms to bloom evenly and brilliantly. The blooming season coincides with the time near Tet, also affecting Da Lat tourism.
Tourists coming to see flowers in Langbiang mountain are mainly young tourists.
Mr. Tran Dinh Nguyen (hotel manager in Ward 9, Da Lat) said: "Many accommodation establishments said that this year, in addition to receiving room reservations for Tet, there are many tourists booking rooms for the period before Tet. Tourists often ask if the cherry blossoms have bloomed yet."
Currently, on inner-city roads with many cherry blossoms such as Tran Hung Dao, Tran Quoc Toan (Xuan Huong Lake), Tran Nhan Tong - Dinh Tien Hoang street (around Cu Hill, Da Lat), most of the cherry blossoms have lost all their leaves and are about to bloom.
The scientific name of cherry blossom is Prunus Cerasoides, the tree trunk has a peach-plum shape, but when it blooms, it has a single 5-petal flower (like apricot blossom).
People often call cherry blossoms the flower that announces Tet, because around mid-January is the time when cherry blossoms bloom to welcome spring.
