In May, royal poinciana flowers bloom brilliantly like "lighting up fire" on the streets of Hai Phong.
According to historian Ngo Dang Loi, the royal poinciana was brought back by the French to be planted in several cities in Vietnam such as Hai Phong , Da Nang, and Saigon in the late 19th century. This type of tree is suitable for the climate and soil of Vietnam, and has gradually spread throughout the country. There are many types of royal poinciana, but there are three basic types: red, pink mixed with white, and purple. Of these, red royal poinciana is abundant in Hai Phong.
May is the season when royal poinciana flowers bloom. This is also the time when Hai Phong celebrates the city's liberation day (May 13, 1955) . The image of royal poinciana flowers is therefore also included in the newly recognized symbol of Hai Phong City.
Some pictures of royal poinciana flowers blooming all over the streets in the center of Hai Phong in recent days:

May is also the time when royal poinciana flowers enter their most beautiful season of the year.
Many people believe that only in Hai Phong can royal poinciana flowers be so brilliant and colorful.
Many people still call Hai Phong with the affectionate, familiar name of the city of red phoenix flowers.
Many opinions also say that royal poinciana symbolizes the strong vitality of the city at the forefront; symbolizes the people of Hai Phong "eating the waves and talking the wind".
In mid-May, the royal poinciana flowers are as bright as "lighting up" all the streets in Hai Phong.
