The beauty of Hanoi during Winter

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.
