The season of the trumpet vine blossoms may be short, but it always leaves unforgettable impressions on the hearts of Hanoians. Even though they only bloom for a few short weeks, their vibrant yellow color manages to capture beautiful memories and brighten up entire street corners.
This year, although many people commented that the trumpet lilies were less vibrant than in previous years, the flower-lined street still attracted a large number of people to admire and take photos. With their gentle and romantic beauty, the trumpet lilies became a highlight, drawing many people to enjoy them. From early morning, many young people were already present, preparing their outfits and posing to take the most beautiful pictures.

Not only young people, but also middle-aged and even elderly people come to the Phong Linh flower street to capture memorable moments. Some couples come to take photos of each other, while families stroll together, enjoying the fresh air and recording beautiful memories amidst the vibrant yellow blossoms.
Besides taking photos, many people also like to come here just to stroll, admire the flowers, and enjoy moments of peace. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the capital city, sometimes just a short time to immerse yourself in nature is enough to dispel all worries and fatigue.
The wind chimes attract both middle-aged and young people to this place.
"The other day, on my way to work, I passed by this road and saw how beautiful the flowers were, so today I asked my husband to come along to take pictures so we could both keep it as a memento. While we were at it, we also visited the Hoa Lo Prison historical site," Ms. Lan shared.
In Vietnam, the trumpet vine is mainly grown in southern provinces and cities such as Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, and Dong Nai. However, in recent years, Hanoi has also started planting trumpet vines on many streets, creating romantic flower-lined avenues. Although the flowering season doesn't last long, usually only two to three weeks, the vibrant yellow of the trumpet vine leaves a lasting impression on the people of the capital city each year.
In the area around the courthouse on Hoa Lo Street, the maple trees continue to bloom this year, covering a corner of the street in golden hues. Under the March sun, the clusters of flowers hang down, swaying in the breeze, creating an incredibly romantic scene. One doesn't need to go far; right in the heart of Hanoi, one can find a peaceful, romantic space to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Beyond its captivating beauty, the trumpet flower also carries profound meaning. In South American countries, this flower symbolizes new beginnings, faith, and hope. Because it blooms during the transitional period, as spring draws to a close and summer arrives, the trumpet flower is seen as a sign of change, reminding people of the good things ahead.

In Vietnam, the trumpet flower is not as common as peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, or flamboyant flowers, but it is still loved by many for its vibrant yellow color and pristine beauty. The yellow color of the flower evokes feelings of warmth and happiness, while also symbolizing good fortune and prosperity.
If you have the chance, visit the courthouse area on Hoa Lo Street in early April, immerse yourself in the golden glow of wind chimes, and enjoy a moment of peace in the heart of the capital. Because some beautiful things only last a moment, but their impact can last a lifetime.
