Fields of flowers near Hanoi's West Lake have been drawing attention from passers-by and tourists thanks to their vivid colors.

Nguyen Thu Thuy, a staff member, said the fields cover an area of 70,000 square meters. During summer, the area is always submerged and covered in lotus flowers. But when the lotus start to wither and the mud become dry, local residents have come up with the great idea of growing seasonal flowers to create a tourist attraction.

Since the Lunar New Year, locally known as Tet and Vietnam’s biggest holiday, dozens of flowers such as petunias, geraniums, roses and sunflowers have been blossoming in vibrant colors under the glistening sunlight.

Take a breath before taking in the magnificent sight, and remember to bring your camera with you to capture the scene.

Workers are busy to pruning and watering the flowers every day.

Seeds imported from the U.S., Europe and Indonesia are being grown on an experimental basis to see how they adapt to the weather adaptation before mass planting.

A picturesque scene in the flower garden evoked memories of the famous Sa Dec flower village in the Mekong Delta.

It takes visitors several hours to walk through the magnificent fields.
