When the Vietnamese lotus variety begins to fade after the blooming summer days, it is also the time when the Japanese lotus variety grown in Hang Mua tourist area thrives.
Ms. Do Thi Thu Ly - General manager of Hang Dance tourist area said that from the beginning of June, the People’s Committee of Hoa Lu district People’s Committee introduced Japanese lotus seeds to pilot drums on an area of about 1ha.
When first planted, everyone thought this fastidious lotus would be difficult to live here. But unexpectedly, after this special lotus species grew and developed well. Up to now, it has produced 3 litters of flowers, attracting thousands of visitors to contemplate.
According to Ms. Ly, to grow Japanese lotus must be careful from soil preparation, the care process, especially the water in the lagoon must always be clean, the newly developed flowers will not flood and die.
The large lotus lagoon, bursting into bloom in the middle of the autumn sky in Hoa Lu ancient capital (Ninh Binh) has made many tourists visiting Trang An unable to ignore this strangely beautiful "check-in" spot in Ninh Binh.
Like a Japanese lotus, the plant is smaller than our lotus. When flowering, petals are thin, pale pink, not as dark as Vietnamese lotus. Flowers often save a long time.
A special feature of this lotus species, when the end of this flower age, just break all the old leaves, the lotus bud, then take good fertilizer, the other flower will continue. Therefore, the Japanese lotus lagoon from planting to flowering usually lasts 4 - 6 months.
The model of bringing Japanese lotus to Ninh Binh is being piloted by Hoa Lu District People’s Committee. If successful, it will be replicated for local people to plant flowers, lotus seeds and lotus seeds for sale. In addition, tourism also brings a greater income than rice.
Ms. Ly added, since having this Japanese lotus pond, every month thousands of visitors come to "check - in" this new spot in Ninh Binh. Everyone admired the beautiful and strange lotus lake with the fastidious lotus variety of the Sunrise Country.
Many foreign tourists visiting Vietnam for the first time also admire the strange lotus pond "sprung silk" in the middle of the autumn sky in Ninh Binh.
