At this time, along both sides of Nam La stream and some roads in To Hieu and Chieng Coi wards, the yellow color of phong linh flowers (gold bell flowers) blooms brilliantly, brightening up the space of the mountain town.
Golden flower clusters stand out against the blue sky, reflecting into the gentle stream, creating a poetic scene. The flower season attracts a large number of people and tourists to visit, take photos, and enjoy the beauty of the spring weather.
Phong linh is a tall tree with a wide canopy, flowers growing in large clusters. Each flower has five petals, bright yellow, shaped like a small bell, so it is also called the yellow bell tree.
Flowers usually bloom profusely from March to April, when they bloom, covering the branches, creating prominent yellow patches. Many clusters of flowers are thick, attracting bees and butterflies, making the space more lively.
In front of Northwest Square, the maple trees are in their most beautiful season. The yellow color next to the Nam La stream has become a landscape highlight, a place where people often come to stroll and take pictures.
These days, many young people, families, especially women, take the opportunity to capture beautiful moments when flowers bloom.
Taking photos under the canopy, Ms. Bui Thu Ha (To Hieu ward, Son La) said that every year she waits for the March flower season to record memories. According to her, the weather is beautiful, flowers bloom brilliantly, so many people hire photographers to take pictures.
Not only along the embankment of Nam La stream, phong linh is also grown in many places such as Uncle Ho's fish pond, Khau Ca hill, Ket Nuoc slope, To Hieu street. The yellow color of phong linh combined with the white color of ban flowers makes Son La mountain town in March even more brilliant and romantic.
Many people choose to wear ao dai, Thai ethnic costumes to take photos with flowers. Ms. Pham Thi Hang, a tourist from Dien Bien, said that each Son La season has its own beauty, but the phong linh season impresses with its brilliant yellow color and poetic scenery.
Mr. Vu Xuan Tu, Deputy Director of Quang Truong Enterprise, Son La Urban Environment and Service Joint Stock Company, said that phong linh is a light-loving, drought-tolerant plant, often planted in parks, squares, and streets. In addition to creating landscapes, the plant also helps absorb dust and smoke, contributing to improving the urban environment.
The phong linh flower season is only brilliant for a few weeks, so it attracts many people and tourists to visit and take photos. This is also the most beautiful time of Son La mountain town in the year with yellow color covering all roads.
