You don’t have to wait till autumn for a spot of ‘leaf-peeping’ in Vietnam’s capital.
 |
| For anyone not familiar with leaf-peeping, it is simply taking a walk under a shady canopy and looking up to admire the foliage changing from fresh greens to yellows, reds and golds. |
 |
| The leaves on the freshwater mangroves (loc vung in Vietnamese) are changing around the city’s beloved Hoan Kiem Lake (aka Sword Lake), and the breathtaking scenery it creates is a must-see. |
|
| Local photographers are out in force at this time of year to capture the vibrant changes around the lake. |
|
| The leaves glow a burning red for just a few days before falling from the trees, making the moment even more precious. |
|
| The perfect blend of a colorful landscape and the spring sunshine. |
|
| Hanoi has just been named one of the best places to visit in March by Business Insider, and leaf-peeping around Hoan Kiem Lake didn’t even get a mention! |
