For the very first time, a cherry blossom festival will take place in mid-February in the central highland city of Da Lat. Dubbed "The City of a Thousand Flowers", Da Lat has long attracted people with its unique beauty. And now, the cherry blossom festival is another reason for people to love the city even more. Join us with the following report to see how preparations for the event are underway.
After a long and gloomy winter, cherry blossoms begin blooming, signaling the arrival of spring. For locals in Da Lat, the return of the cherry blossoms don't simply mean the blooming of a flower, it also signifies the vitality of the land. People in Da Lat love cherry blossoms for many reasons. Every year, when the flower blooms, they have their own stories to tell about the flower.
The cherry blossom festival will take place in Da Lat from the 11th to the 13th of February. As planned, 100 cherry blossom trees will be displayed at the event and around 2,000 trees will be grown this year in the city. Local authorities hope that the trees will help boost tourism to the city.
This year, cherry blossom season has come late because of changes in the weather. So far, only one third of cherry trees in Da Lat have bloomed. However, this has made locals even more excited to see the flowers./.
