The red rice flowers bloom prominently, attracting all eyes of people who come to visit and offer incense to the Buddha.

March is also the time when the rice flowers bloom red in front of the yard of Thay Pagoda (Sai ​​Son Commune, Quoc Oai District, Hanoi), an ancient temple thousands of years old.

According to local people, there used to be 5 rice flower trees at Thay Pagoda, but 4 of them have died, now only one tree remains on the left side of the pagoda, near the “Nhat Tien Kieu” bridge.

Recently, watching on social networks, I knew that the rice flowers here had bloomed, so I brought my family here to visit, by the way, to take photos with rice flowers, “said Phuong.

Like Phuong, Ms. Dinh Thi Tham (in Phuc Tho, Hanoi) also invites you to go to Thay Pagoda to visit and take pictures with rice flowers when knowing that the rice plants here have bloomed.

Tham traveled nearly 30 kilometers to Thay Pagoda to take pictures with rice flowers.

“I accidentally saw a photo of my friend posted on social networks, saw that the rice flower tree in the temple grounds was so beautiful, I immediately invited you to come down here to play. Coming to the temple at this time is very airy, the feeling of space is so pure. In addition, the image of an ancient rice tree lying next to a thousand-year-old pagoda makes me feel that this scene has become more quiet and sacred,” said Tham.
