Traveling more than ten kilometers to "touch" the lotus space
In the middle of the lotus blooming season, the demand for preserving moments with the characteristic flower of summer is increasing. Besides outdoor lotus ponds, many people choose cafes decorated with lotus flowers to avoid the heat, while enjoying the space to admire flowers, take photos and relax.
Ms. Cao Hoang Yen (Ha Dong ward, Hanoi) traveled about 14km to get to a lotus flower decoration cafe after seeing images shared on social networks.
I found the space very beautiful, so I decided to go from Ha Dong. The weather these days is quite hot, so instead of going to the lotus pond, I chose a coffee shop because I can both admire the lotus, take photos, and sit and rest in a cool space," Ms. Yen shared.
Meanwhile, Ms. Mai Thao Ngoc (Ba Dinh ward, Hanoi) said that what impressed her the most was the natural fragrance of lotus flowers and the arrangement throughout the space.
Stepping into the shop, I smelled a very pleasant lotus scent. The space is both beautiful and cool, so I can sit for a long time to chat with friends and take many satisfactory photos," Ms. Ngoc said.
Invest in lotus space to attract summer customers
To create a highlight in the lotus season, many cafes invest in a large number of fresh lotus flowers, and replace them regularly to maintain their beauty and natural fragrance.
Mr. Dinh Thanh Long - manager of a lotus flower decoration cafe in Hanoi - said that the cafe uses about 1,000 lotus flowers to decorate all three floors, from the photo area, stairs to each table of guests.
Usually every 2 days, the stall will replace all the lotus flowers once. Every day, there are staff taking care of the flowers, watering them, adding ice and checking the flowers that are no longer beautiful to replace them," Mr. Long shared.
According to Mr. Long, to ensure the best experience for customers, the restaurant does not charge additional fees for the decoration area. Customers only need to use drinks to visit and experience the entire space.
At another coffee shop in Hanoi, Mr. Tong Duong Hoang Anh (stall manager) said that the facility also started decorating lotus flowers more than a month ago to bring a summer-like space to customers.
We want everyone to have a poetic space to admire flowers, take photos and feel the beauty of the lotus season right in the heart of Hanoi," said Mr. Hoang Anh.
According to Mr. Hoang Anh, since the implementation of the lotus flower decoration model, the restaurant has recorded a significant increase in customers.
On average, the cafe welcomes about 200 customers per day. Among them, the most crowded are groups of customers aged 18-25 coming to take photos, meet friends, along with families and elderly people coming to enjoy coffee and enjoy the space," said Mr. Hoang Anh.
