Many young people from other provinces have come to Ha Giang. They come to this place not only to explore the wild and majestic beauty but also to watch flowers and take pictures. Groups of tourists flock here as soon as they know that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
Ha Giang cherry blossoms are five-petal fading cherry blossoms, the color is not crimson, but only slightly pink. The flower branches bend, letting the flowers hang down in front of the house gates. The special thing is that the colder it is, the fresher and more beautiful the flowers are.
The pink color warms the cold rocky mountainside after a long winter. The flowers blend with the golden sun and the blue sky, creating a majestic picture of nature.
