Hanoi locals and visitors alike are in for a treat as they witness the vibrant yellow cosmos flowers blooming beneath the iconic Long Bien Bridge. After Typhoon Yagi, the once-flooded wastelands of the Red River’s tidal flats have transformed into a stunning sea of golden blossoms in just over a month. This magical setting, located in Phuc Xa Ward, Hoan Kiem District, spans an impressive 10 hectares, offering a breathtaking sight to all who visit.

The flower fields, a result of a nature restoration project by local associations such as the Women’s Union, Veterans’ Association, and Youth Union, in collaboration with residents, offer a beautiful contrast to the bridge’s sturdy structure. |

This alluvial land is susceptible to flooding when the Red River’s water levels rise. However, when the waters recede, it transforms into a stunning flower field, providing a delightful leisure spot for tourists and locals alike. |

The flower fields flourish due to the dedicated care of the local residents, and according to plans, this region will become a significant tourist development area for the capital, benefiting the surrounding communities economically. |

Late autumn and early winter are when the fields of yellow cosmos truly shine, illuminated by the soft light of dawn. This breathtaking landscape has captured the hearts of both young people and photography enthusiasts, drawing a large crowd on weekends. |

With the combined efforts of local authorities and residents, this area is well on its way to becoming a sought-after tourist destination, attracting visitors from near and far. |
