"The Nhat Tan Village in the northwest of Hanoi has a unique dark pink shade of cherry blossom trees curated by local gardeners," the SCMP says in a recent report, introducing the famous flower village in the capital city. "Accompanying these beautiful spring views are cooler temperatures, ensuring a delightful holiday from the hustle and bustle of city life."
The report also mentions the Central Highlands town of Da Lat as being exceptionally beautiful in spring, justifying its moniker as the "city of flowers." Da Lat has about 3,000 trees with a profusion of bright pink trees whose"blossoms are popular too for their unique shape, many being five-leaf apricot trees."
