Da Lat streets stun tourists with cherry-like apricot blossoms (photos)

TuoiTreNews - Astonishing sights on several streets in Da Lat in the Central Highlands have bewitched locals and tourists alike, as scores of flowering trees indigenous to the area have simultaneously bloomed.

As Tet (Lunar New Year) is nearing, a number of streets in Da Lat of Lam Dong Province now look their best for the holiday.

Tet begins on February 19 this year, with festivities lingering for around one week after that.

“Mai Anh Dao,” an elegant blend between “Hoa Dao” (cherry blossoms) and “Hoa Mai” (apricot flowers), typically bloom around the end of the year and continue blossoming until after Tet.

Scientifically known as Prunus Cesacoides, the flowers are pinkish in color.
