Tigers or leopards, panthers, etc., are ferocious land animals that can also climb trees and swim in rivers and streams. The ancient people feared and worshiped the tiger as "the lord of the jungle", "ong ba muoi”, the tiger god. Of the 12 zodiac animals, the Tiger ranks third in the land animal category.

In Hue, somewhere on the sidewalk, you can see Prunus Persica blossom trees nestling themselves next to an old tree. Those are Prunus Persica blossom trees that their owners left after Tet (Vietnamese New Year’s Day.)

After nearly a year of experimenting with the idea of ​​​​planting a Prunus Persica garden in the highland area from the call of "Giving the Tet Prunus Persica trees to A Luoi district instead of throwing them away". This Tet holiday, A Luoi Prunus Persica garden has blossomed, attracting the locals and visitors to visit and take photos.

With the ratio of 12.9m2 of trees/person, Hue is honored as the "National Green City". To build that green brand, there are silent and touching stories about the life of trees and people.

I was invited to take a ‘Green Hue’ sightseeing trip. Standing on Gia Vien bridge and look northwards on a sunny day, I saw River Huong was supported with different colors: yellow of the Golden Shower tree, scarlet of the Flamboyant, velvet of the crape-myrtle, blue of the sky and green of water. It made me think of a picture of happiness and well-being in the deep memory of more than thirty years: Sinh paintings.

Hong Dieu tangerine is an ancient tree variety whose fruit value and quality has been proven over the years when grown in Luong Quan (Thuy Bieu, Hue City).

On the days of late autumn and early winter, taking advantage of the sunny weather, a team of rangers and forestry experts carried many things into the remote forest of Sao La Nature Reserve (A Luoi District)… Not to investigate deforestation, not to set camera traps or to rescue animals, this time they embarked on a journey to seek native forest tree varieties from the natural forest in order to perform the mission of planting forest tree varieties and conserving rare genetic resources.

Hue has entered the season of mist. It is when walking on the Truong Tien bridge, one suddenly recognizes the city is wrapped in soft floating mist. One stands on the bridge, looking at the river full of milky mist, hearing the sounds of fishermen paddling. Mist lingers among trees and grass in the verdant parks. It is as if the whole city were slowing down and it looks so beautiful like a painting.

In order for yellow apricots to bloom in time to welcome Tet, in these days, Hue Green Park Center is mobilizing human and material resources to pick leaves off apricot trees in the gardens along Le Duan Street and in front of the Hue Imperial Citadel.

Every time I visit Bao Vinh, standing at the Bao Vinh Bridge with the gentle quiet communal house, whose color has been fading with time, behind the old Bodhi tree, I am filled with mixed feelings beyond description.
