Maybe a lot of people when talking about autumn will only remember the yellow and red leaves season in Japan, Korea or Canada but forget that in Vietnam there is also an equally beautiful autumn. Though autumn in Vietnam does not have many places with maple leaves, instead it is the yellow color of ripe rice on the craggy terraced fields, the gentle pink color of the buckwheat flowers and the passionate beauty of the milk flowers.

When the chilly winds “pour” in all the northern land, autumn has arrived.

Milk flowers are considered one of the symbols of autumn in Hanoi, Vietnam. And it is rare to find a place where autumn has its own passionate and charming flavor like Hanoi. Milk flower season starts from September and lasts until the beginning of December, with the characteristic passionate fragrance emanating from the beautiful little white flower clusters.

If you have ever set foot in the capital in autumn, it will be difficult for you to refuse to go through certain street corners, sip a cup of coffee and feel a very unique “taste” of milk flowers. Nguyen Chi Thanh street – a street about 2km long but with hundreds of milk flower trees, is called by many young people with the intimate name “the passionate road of milk flowers”.
