When the leaves turn yellow, Hanoi is breathtakingly beautiful.
Autumn in Hanoi arrives gently, unexpectedly, like a dream. The streets seem to be adorned with a new coat of yellow and red leaves. Golden leaves fall all over the streets, creating a beautiful natural carpet. The setting sun bathes the ancient houses in golden light, creating a truly romantic scene. Especially noteworthy is the fragrant scent of milk flower blossoms mingled with the smell of damp earth, creating a distinctive autumnal aroma that stirs the heart.
Hanoi residents also immerse themselves in the autumn atmosphere. In the mornings, they often go to parks and Hoan Kiem Lake to exercise and enjoy the fresh air. In the afternoons, families gather together, enjoying warm tea and delicious sticky rice with young rice flakes. Hanoi's autumn is not only a season of nature but also a season of human connection. On autumn afternoons, people often invite each other to stroll through the streets, chat, and share stories of joy and sorrow. A warm, intimate feeling permeates every corner of their hearts.

The image of flower vendors cycling through the narrow alleys blends seamlessly into the city streets, creating a lively and colorful scene that adds to the romantic and poetic atmosphere of autumn.
Identifying himself as a lover of Hanoi, Pham Quang Tuyen shared: “Flower carts have become a familiar part of Hanoi's streets, gradually becoming a very 'poetic' symbol of the city. Not only in autumn, but with each passing season, these flower carts bring new colors of flowers, along with characteristic images of each season.”

"I usually use my Fujifilm camera, but there are moments when I choose to use my phone for faster operation. I mainly take photos based on emotion, so the technical aspect is usually not my top priority. However, one important factor that everyone should pay attention to in order to get beautiful pictures is lighting."
To capture moments of flower vendors, I often strike up conversations, asking them about their lives and work. This helps them feel more natural and comfortable when I point my camera at them. To get beautiful photos of flower carts, I think you should first prepare yourself to be relaxed and enjoy every moment. In addition, choosing the right time to shoot is also very important: early morning to avoid crowds or at sunset. The weather is also a factor to consider for beautiful pictures,” Pham Quang Tuyen advised.
