Do Xuan Phuc, owner of Ha Tuyen lotus pond, said that his family has been growing lotus for around 20 years. Over the past two years, they have begun planting white lotus instead of pink. Each visitor to their lotus pond needs to pay VND50,000 (USD1.96).
Dao Van Manh, who works for a photography studio, said his studio provides photo packages of VND700,000-1,500,000 per person, including makeup, hairstyling, and costumes.
According to Hanoi photographer Nguyen Trong Tay, he charges VND2 million for unlimited photos with lotus flowers.
As the lotus ponds bloom, Hanoi is adorned with various other flowers, such as crepe myrtles and flamboyant, creating a vibrant and diverse floral landscape.
Hai Duong from Tay Ho District booked a photo package for her daughter to mark her secondary school graduation.
