In late autumn when the weather becomes cooler, the pure-white daisies are in full bloom, competing with the graceful young Hanoian women who don pure-white ao dai to create a serenely beautiful picture of the capital city.
Graceful women form a line to demonstrate their beauty with the charming daisies. As the daisies begin to reach their prime, young women rush to the gardens around Hanoi to pose for photographs next to the flower that heralds the arrival of winter. For the past few years, traditional flower farmers in Hanoi have turned part of their fields into specially designed gardens as settings for photographs. With entrance fees of just a few dollars, the new service attracts thousands of visitors each day to these flower meadows. An afternoon haze adds a touch of elegance to the young women amidst the lovely daisies. Daisies are at their peak for around 2-3 weeks and this time of the year is the best for taking great photos with this flower. The pure-white of the daisies and decorative objects create a setting that looks like a fairyland. |
