In March, the crape myrtle flowers bloom, covering Hanoi in white.

Amidst the bustling streets, we are suddenly captivated by the pristine white color. The crape myrtle blossoms bloom very quickly. In just one night, the entire large tree is dyed a single color, abruptly and irresistibly.

In March, Hanoi suddenly becomes so gentle. In the cool spring weather, on the tall, slender, and delicate tree trunks, the crape myrtle flowers bloom white like clouds in the sky.

These days, streets like Phan Chu Trinh, Phan Dinh Phung, and Thanh Nien in Hanoi are covered in the white blossoms of the crape myrtle tree. Throughout the year, the crape myrtle tree is unremarkable, but when the warm spring rains begin, it seems to awaken, and tiny white flowers begin to bloom.

The flowers are pure white, delicate, and gentle. Every time a light breeze blows, countless tiny blossoms sway gently in the air and fall like snowflakes, scattering across the path, evoking a feeling of excitement in the hearts of passersby.
