Ba Vi (Hanoi)
Although wild sunflowers are just wildflowers that grow in arid soil or hide in the morning mist, these flowers still confidently stretch out to bloom, attracting the attention of countless visitors.
Every year at the end of autumn, wild sunflowers bloom again in Ba Vi National Park. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to travel from the center of Hanoi to this place. Here, visitors can be immersed in a paradise filled with golden wild sunflowers and take as many pictures as they like.
Wild sunflowers here start to bloom from late October to November. However, the best time to see the flowers is in November. On weekends, this national park welcomes more visitors than on weekdays. Therefore, visitors should come here on weekdays if they want to avoid traffic jams.
Before visitors come here, in order to avoid disappointment, they should identify some beautiful shooting spots in advance. They can ask the guard at the gate of the national park and at the guard posts for directions to wild sunflower hill. The 700 hill area is said to be the most beautiful spot for taking pictures of wild sunflowers. To reach this hill, visitors can go to the forest fire observatory and then turn left to the wild sunflower hill of Ba Vi National Park.
The right time to have fun in Ba Vi is a day or two. If visitors prefer to stay overnight, they can book a room in advance or camp overnight. This is quite simple because Ba Vi has many fully equipped resorts.
