Every April, parasol trees in Hue begin to bloom, creating a peaceful and poetic scene that enhances the charm of Hue city.
Parasol flower, long regarded as a royal flower, is closely associated with the image of the Nguyen Dynasty in Hue.
Parasol flower is one of the nine flower species that King Minh Mang had engraved on the Nine Dynastic Urns symbolizing royal power.
Parasol flowers usually bloom in late March and early April, creating a poetic and deeply serene landscape.
Parasol trees are now planted in many places throughout Hue: Behind the Thai Hoa Palace, in the courtyard of Can Chanh Palace, in front of Dong Cac, in front of the Privy council of the Nguyen dynasty and also in Thuong Bac Park, among others.
Parasol flowers bloom amidst the lush greenery of the park, with the Truong Tien Bridge spanning the Perfume River in the distance.
Seen from the southern bank of the city, the view of parasol flowers highlights the harmonious blend of past and present in the ancient capital of Hue.
The branches of the parasol trees bear tiny buds that cluster into flower bunches, waiting for the sun to bloom.
For many years now, the parasol tree behind the Thai Hoa Palace has become a popular check-in spot in the Imperial City of Hue during blooming season.
Young people in traditional Vietnamese attire often capture beautiful moments beside this royal flower.
Parasol flowers are at its most beautiful in late April to early May, when all the leaves have fallen.
