Every year at this time, people flock to Madonna lily gardens scattered on the outskirts of Hanoi to enjoy the beautiful blooms that are a definite steal at just VND35,000 ($1.5) for ten stems.
Considered the symbol of Hanoi, Madonna lilies are available all over the capital, but that doesn't stop people taking a trip out to the lily gardens.
