Going through Hanoi's autumn

    Hải Nguyễn |

    When the hot summer sunlight had just passed, Hanoi put on a dreamy yellow coat of autumn.

    Trai khap nhung con pho rop bong cay sau gia co thu nhu Phan Dinh Phung, Hoang Dieu hay nhung con pho nho ben Ho Guom co kinh, mua thu hien len khong chi bang nhung sac la lap lanh, bung sang duoi nang thu, ma con la mui hoa sua thoang bay trong gio nhe. Nhung bo cuc hoa mi tinh khoi duoc boc trong to bao cu.
    Stretching through streets shaded with ancient crocodiles such as Phan Dinh Phung, Hoang Dieu or the small streets of the ancient Hoan Kiem Lake, Hanoi's autumn appears not only with sparkling, bright leaves under the golden sunlight, but also the smell of milk flowers sometimes flying in the light wind.
    Moi sang cuoi tuan, pho Phan Dinh Phung duong nhu tat bat hon moi ngay, nhung cay sau co thu hai ben duong nhu nhung nguoi ban lau nam cua Ha Noi lang le chao don nhung nguoi quen, la tu tap duoi nhung tan cay xanh mat. Ho den day de ghi lai mot khoanh khac cua mua thu – thu cua dat troi va cung co the la mua thu cua chinh ho.
    Every weekend morning, Phan Dinh Phung street seems busier than usual. Ancient tamarind trees on both sides of the road like long-time friends of Hanoi quietly welcomed acquaintances and strangers gathered under the cool green trees. They came here to capture a moment of Hanoi's autumn.
    Va o day, mua thu duong nhu la ban hoa tau dep de va day du nhat. Nhung ganh hang hoa ruc ro o goc pho, bung sang tu nhung doa huong duong vang ruc phan chieu nhung anh nang dau tien cua ngay. Tuong phan voi vang ruc cua huong duong, mau tim salem, trang tinh khoi cua cuc hoa mi nhu ban hoa tau du lam mem nhung goc via he xu xi am mau thoi gian.
    The brilliant flower stalls in the street corner, lit up by the bright yellow sunlight reflecting the first rays of sunlight of the day. Contrasting with the brilliant yellow of the sun, the purple color of salem, the pure white of chrysanthemum art like a harmonica is enough to soften the colorful corners of the sidewalk.
    Nhung doi tre nhu hai ban sinh vien Phuong Linh – Hai Anh khong the bo lo khoanh khac mua thu; tren tay Phuong Linh la mot chiec may anh du lich va Hai Anh la mot bo cuc hoa mi va nu cuoi cua ho nhu hoa vao thoi tiet diu dang cua mua dep nhat trong nam.
    Young couples like Phuong Linh - Hai Anh students cannot miss the moment of autumn; Phuong Linh has a travel camera in hand and Hai Anh has a bunch of chrysanthemums and their smiles like blending into the gentle weather of the most beautiful season of the year.
    Tam xa con pho mua thu Phan Dinh Phung, chung ta rao buoc den mot khong gian xanh khac cua Ha Noi – nhung cong vien xanh - mot khong gian rong mo nhu tam guong phan chieu nhip song cua nguoi Ha Noi. Moi khung gio trong ngay, tung top nguoi du lua tuoi chay bo ven ho cong vien Thong Nhat-mot trong nhung cong vien xanh rong nhat cua Ha Noi.
    In another space, at every time of the day, groups of people of all ages run along Thong Nhat Park - one of the largest green parks in Hanoi.
    Khong chi co hoa, la hay gio, thu Ha Noi con hien len qua nhung dieu gian di. Tieng rao cua nguoi ban rong dau pho, la huong sen cuoi mua len trong tung ganh hang rong, tach tra nong trong quan nho nhin ra mat ho. Moi goc pho, moi con duong deu tro nen than thuoc, khien nguoi ta di xa roi van nho. Chiec ghe ven ho Hoan Kiem nhu mot nhan chung tham lang ghi lai cau chuyen khong hoi ket cua nhung nguoi ma thanh xuan da o lai sau lung.
    Not only does it have flowers, leaves or wind, Hanoi's autumn also appears through simple things. The advertisement of street vendors at the beginning of the season is the scent of lotus in each street vendor's stall, cup of hot tea in a small shop looking out at the lake. Every corner of the street, every street becomes familiar, making people go far and still remember. The chair by Hoan Kiem Lake is like a silent witness recording the endless story of those whose youth has left behind.
    Mua thu cung la mua cua nhung cuoc gap go. Tren he pho, nhom ban Minh Thu-Bao Tram-Tue Van cuoi noi ron ra, chia se tung buc anh vua chup duoc. Co le, chinh su sum vay, su se chia gian di ay da lam nen linh hon cua mua thu Ha Noi – khong on ao, khong voi va, ma tham dam yeu thuong.
    Autumn is also the season of meetings. On the sidewalk, the group of friends Minh Thu - Bao Tram - Tue Van laughed loudly, sharing each photo they had just taken. Perhaps, it is this simple gathering and sharing that creates the soul of Hanoi's autumn - not noisy, not hasty, but imbued with love.
    Giua nhip song hien dai, mua thu Ha Noi van giu duoc net rieng: co kinh ma tuoi moi, nhe nhang ma sau lang. De moi khi ai do tha buoc qua pho nho, giua nhung hang cay co thu, nghe tieng la roi khe khang du long thay binh yen.Mua thu – mua cua Ha Noi. Khong chi dep trong khung anh, ma con la mua cua ky uc, hoai niem va yeu thuong, nhung dieu khien nguoi ta luon muon quay ve.
    In the midst of modern life, Hanoi's autumn still retains its own style: ancient glass but fresh, gentle but profound. So that every time someone walks through a small street, among the rows of ancient trees, hearing the sound of fallen leaves makes me feel at peace. Autumn - the most beautiful season in Hanoi. Not only beautiful in the photo frame, but also the season of memories, nostalgia and love, the things that make people always want to return.
