Gentle lotus flowers

The photo exhibition themed “Life of the lotus” by Nguyen Khoa Huy, the photographer, is being displayed at Hue City Center for Culture, Information and Sports (23 - 25 Le Loi Street), from November 26 to December 10, 2024.

The appellation Maypaperflower is now quite familiar to many paper flower lovers, not only in Hue but also in many provinces and cities at home and abroad. To bring paper flowers to many world countries, Phan Ngoc Hieu has overcome a journey full of hardships and challenges. Talking with Thua Thien Hue Newspaper, this young girl shared an energetic story about her dream of bringing paper flowers to the West.

From researching the topic to participate in the Provincial Science-Technology Contest for High School Students, a group of students from Dang Tran Con Senior High School made tea bags from rose myrtle flowers, a unique product from the local raw material sources.

People often say Hue is like a poetic lush green garden. When spring comes, the whole Hue garden is filled with gentle fragrance from flowers. At that time, flowers are not just flowers; flowers are also bright beams at dawn; flowers hide themselves under wings of swallows which herald the coming of spring; flowers ride on butterflies to show off their beauty and aroma; flowers sing along with birds on branches...

In the days leading up to the Lunar New Year, Hue City becomes extremely bustling as flowers appear everywhere.
