Each summer, West Lake in Hanoi becomes a magnet for both locals and tourists. But what makes this year truly special is the return of the Bach Diep (hundred-petal) lotus—a rare, hundred-petaled variety that flourishes only in the unique soil and water of West Lake. 

When it comes to the quintessential summer flower, lotus cannot be overlooked. In the minds of many, the beauty and fragrance of Hanoi's lotus are epitomized by the elegant West Lake lotus, also known as Bach Diep lotus.

Building new tours associated with Bach Diep (hundred-petal) lotus products of the land of Tay Ho (Tay Ho district) to promote and develop local sustainable tourism products will contribute to raising the status of the Capital’s tourism.
