    The lotus season blooms in May to the end of August. This year, thanks to favorable weather, West Lake lotus blooms very on time. Flowers are uniform, petals are thick and retain their fragrance for a long time. Photo: Pham Tu

    From early morning, many people came to check-in and take photos on the roads along the lotus pond. From 5 am to before 8 am, the weather was cool, the sunlight was gentle, and the petals bloomed profusely and emitted the most fragrant scent, suitable for tourists to visit and explore.

    Mr. Pham Tu, a freelance photographer in Hanoi, shared his experience: "The natural lotus ponds around West Lake are mostly free, but will be limited in shooting angles because tourists can only stand on the shore". Photo: Pham Tu

    To have beautiful photos, everyone should go take photos in the early morning or cool afternoon. Absolutely avoid the time from 8 am to 4 pm because the sun is harsh, taking photos is very easy to burn brightly. The photographer is also tired and the flowers held in hand also quickly wilt," Mr. Tu added. Photo: Pham Tu
