When the
plants completely take off its beautiful crimson and gold gowns, and when Hanoi
starts to put on a show of continual drizzles and dry, chilly breezes, winter
also returns to the city.

Winter arrives bringing unpleasant
feelings and unpleasant changes in the air, the sceneries, and the weather.
Days become shorter while cold, rainy nights seem to last forever. The soothing
coolness from autumn gradually vanishes, leaving room for the freezing chills
to fill the air. Naked scrawny trees add a hint of solitary to the already
gloomy streets under dark clouded sky.
But, if you could spend a moment to
look around a just little bit closer, you would see that Hanoi still has a lot
to offer, a lot of beauty to show, even in the most ordinaries.
During this season, Hanoi’s streets
seem to be especially crowded with street vendors and peddlers selling steamed
yams and sugar canes. The delicious scent and hot steam blow a faint whiff of
warmth into the freezing air, into the mind and soul of Hanoians. I love this
comforting heat, this sweet scent, this tasty and chewy flavor. Hiding away
from winter rain under some unknown roof, with a hot, fresh cooked steamed yam
in hand, suddenly all the chill and coldness seem to fade away.

Winter brings Hanoi not just windy and
cold rainy days, but also the beautiful scene of almond leaves in different
shades of rich crimson waltzing elegantly in the air before resting peacefully
on the ground. I love walking through rows of almond trees in the winter. The
old trees standing tall and stern like rows of royal guards, and the path under
my foot is a magical red carpet, with each step accompanied by a playful crispy
sound underfoot.

Winter comes bringing Hanoi nights of
continuous rains and frosty mornings – when the streets are embraced in a thin,
transparent layer of mist. Having a walk early in the morning, feeling the
chills tingled in your skin and breathing in a deep inhale of fresh, clean air,
and nothing could be better and more refreshing to start your busy day.

Who said Hanoi during winter is
colorless and solitary? Hanoi in winter has its own very unique beauty. Its
charms lie hidden in the loveliness of little daisies in pure white and beaming
gold, and in the rare sunny days when the sky seems to be brighter and
everything glows in liveliness.
