In the early summer days, many streets and parks such as To Hieu, Chieng Sinh, Moc Chau, Chieng An seem to wake up in the brilliant colorful picture of typical flowers.
From the gentle pink color of the walls at To Hieu and Chieng Le flower gardens; the golden and shiny color of the yellow bird's nest in Moc Chau square, to the warm red color of phoenix flowers on the embankment of Nam La stream. All blend together, creating a vivid natural picture in the heart of the city.
At To Hieu Park, Chieng Le and many central streets, Tuong Vi flowers are starting to bloom. Not as brilliantly as phoenix or crape myrtle, Tuong Vi has its own beauty with fragile petals, gentle pink color.
Flower bushes creeping through parks, schools, and sidewalks not only soothe the early summer sun but also contribute to creating green spaces and improving the quality of urban air.
Ha Phuong Oanh, a student at Northwest University, shared: "I really like taking photos with tuong vi flowers, because the colors are gentle, and they are very beautiful on the screen. Each flower season is a memorable memory of my student days.
Meanwhile, in the center of Moc Chau ward, bird's nest buds are entering their blooming season, dyeing many roads around the administrative area and square yellow. Long clusters of flowers fluttering and swaying in the wind create a poetic scene, making passersby unable to stop to admire.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, Vat Hong residential group, Moc Chau ward, said: "Every year when the rhododendron flower season comes, the road seems to light up. Many people take the opportunity to stop to take photos, preserving beautiful moments of the mountain town.
Along the embankment of Nam La stream in Chieng An and To Hieu wards, phoenix flowers are also starting to show off their bright red color. The phoenix canopies stretching along the stream, casting shadows on the water surface, creating a lively highlight for the pedestrian and cyclist road.
In the afternoon, this place becomes a familiar destination for many people who come to stroll and enjoy the fresh air. Mr. Lo Manh Hai, Bo village, Chieng An ward shared: "Since the embankment line was completed, I often come here to walk, both to exercise and to admire the scenery very comfortably. When phoenix flowers bloom, the space becomes even more beautiful, creating a feeling of relaxation after a working day.
Mr. A Ho, a freelance photographer in Son La, shared: "This season, wherever you go, you can take beautiful photos. From daisy, rhododendron to red phoenix, each flower has its own beauty. Especially the Chieng Le and To Hieu flower gardens are very attractive because of the airy space, flowers blooming simultaneously and many beautiful shooting angles.
Not only young people, many people also take advantage of early mornings or late afternoons to go to parks and streams to stroll, admire flowers and capture everyday moments. In the midst of urban life, flower seasons seem to help soothe the sun, bringing a feeling of peace and relaxation.
The interweaving of flowers not only beautifies the landscape but also contributes to creating a unique feature for Son La every early summer. Slow footsteps under the flower canopy, radiant smiles in each frame are depicting a youthful, approachable and vibrant mountain town of Son La.
