Hoan Kiem Lake has long been a familiar stop for tourists and young people in Hanoi . In early autumn, the yellow color gradually dyes the lake surface and the trees along the shore, creating a romantic scene. Many young people choose this place to take photos, check-in, and capture the typical moments of autumn in Hanoi.
Trang Lien (23 years old - Hanoi) shared: “On weekends, I take the opportunity to go to Hoan Kiem Lake to take photos, because this is the time when Hanoi enters the most beautiful period of the year. The autumn sky is clear, the gentle yellow sunlight spreads across the lake, the trees begin to change leaves, making the scene both peaceful and romantic. For me, capturing these moments is not only to have beautiful photos, but also to remember the very unique characteristics of Hanoi's autumn.”
Not only around Hoan Kiem Lake - where the calm water reflects the rows of red Indian laurel trees, but also on all the streets, autumn colors are spreading, bringing a feeling that is both familiar and new.
On Hang Trong Street, the golden sunlight spreads down the ancient tiled roofs, highlighting the peacefulness of the old quarter. Street vendors weave through each small alley, their cries softly ringing in the cool weather, evoking very special memories of old Hanoi. Pedestrians leisurely walk under the trees, seemingly wanting to slow down to fully enjoy the pleasant autumn weather.
Along the small roadside cafes, the aroma of freshly roasted coffee blends with the scent of early-season milk flowers, creating a very Hanoian atmosphere. Many foreign tourists choose to stop, sip a cup of cappuccino or lemon tea on the sidewalk, and watch the people passing by to feel an ancient yet equally fresh Hanoi.
Hang Ma Street begins to take on a vibrant appearance. The street, which is already brilliant all year round, is now even more splendid as Mid-Autumn Festival approaches. Rows of shops display lanterns, papier-mâché masks, small drums, lion heads, etc., creating a vibrant array of colors. The laughter of children and the excitement of visitors, combined with the golden sunlight, make Hang Ma the most brilliant highlight in Hanoi's autumn picture.
It is in the intersection between present and memory, between peace and bustle, that the capital's autumn becomes a distinctive "brand", holding the footsteps of tourists and filling the love of Hanoians for the land they live in.
Therefore, each passing autumn not only leaves a beautiful image in the eyes of travelers, but also deeply engraves in the hearts of the people of the capital a pride, an intact emotion that is difficult to name - an emotion that makes anyone who has experienced it want to return once again, to once again live fully in the gentle yet profound beauty of Hanoi in autumn.
