Grapefruit flowers, which are different from thanh trà ones, are whiter, bigger and more fragrant

Those who come to Hue in March should stop in Thuy Bieu and travel freely on the beautiful winding roads. Everywhere is filled with the color and fragrance of grapefruit flowers, as well as a pleasingly rustic ambience that other villages can hardly offer. Then, they will be able to experience being true farmers, working on the fertile soil and gardens of the ancient capital and enjoying the values grapefruit flowers offer.

In the past, the local people often cut down grapefruit trees, as their profit was lower than thanh trà trees. However, they have been now paying more attention to the preservation of grapefruit trees because of the potential development of tourism from the fragrance of grapefruit flowers. Nowadays, grapefruit flowers have created a very attractive and interesting brand, with tours to view the grapefruit flowers in March.
