LÂM ĐỒNG – The blooming of cherry blossoms is attracting visitors to Đà Lạt City even after the Tết (Lunar New Year) holidays have ended.

The colourful flowers can be seen on many streets along the centre of the city like Trần Hưng Đạo, Hùng Vương and Trần Quốc Toản, offering tourists great photo opportunities.

Many people, especially young ones, are continuing to visit Đà Lạt just to see them.

Phan Nghi Tuyên, a tourist from HCM City, said he and his close friends are visiting after Tết to see the blossoms rather than during the holidays. 

They are travelling around Đà Lạt on motorbikes, especially with the weather being great, he said. 

According to city Office of Culture and Information, the number of visitors has been rising even after the holidays, reaching 21,000 daily.

The city welcomed around 323,000 visitors between February 8 and 18, including 25,200 foreign visitors.

Cherry blossoms are widely grown in the city and Lạc Dương District. They bloom only once a year around Tết. – VNS
