In summer, lotus ponds in Thai Binh bloom, creating brilliant patches of color, attracting tourists to admire and take photos, such as Van Dai lotus pond in Hung Ha district, An Vu lotus pond in Quynh Phu district, and Vu Tay lotus pond in Kien Xuong district.

However, located about 110 km from Hanoi, Thai Binh also has large lotus ponds with many lotus species. |
 |
One of the most famous and largest lotus ponds in Thai Binh is the Van Dai Lotus Cooperative in Van Dai village, Chi Hoa commune, Hung Ha district, Thai Binh. Ms. Nguyen Thi Chien, Deputy Director of Van Dai Lotus Cooperative, said that the lotus pond was newly formed nearly three years ago, covering an area of nearly 5 hectares surrounding the temple of Princess Dieu Dung - a provincial historical and cultural relic. |
 |
Early June to the end of July is the time when the number of visitors to the lotus pond to take photos is the highest, especially on weekends. On June 18 alone, Van Dai Cooperative welcomed about 1,500 visitors. "This year, right from the beginning of summer, the number of visitors to the pond is much higher than last year," said Ms. Chien. |

At Van Dai lagoon, there are currently about 32 lotus varieties, typically white royal, red hundred-leaf lotus (photo), pink white, other shore lotus, white Japanese lotus. In particular, there are rare lotus varieties such as thousand-petal lotus, thousand-petal pure-emperor lotus. Besides, the lagoon also has about 20 water lily varieties. |

White Spider Lily has white petals, yellow pistils, and a sweet fragrance even when it is a bud. The flower blooms only once, then closes, loses its petals, and gradually fades. In addition to white, this lotus species also has yellow. |
 |
Ms. Chien said that at Van Dai HXT, each plot of land grows a lotus variety with different harvesting purposes. There is a lotus variety for tea; lotus seeds for making lotus milk, lotus jam, nutritional powder; lotus shoots; and lotus tubers. |
 |
Coming to the cooperative, in addition to taking photos, visitors can also experience harvesting lotus, learn how to arrange lotus (photo), enjoy and buy lotus products such as lotus flowers, lotus shoots, lotus seeds, lotus tea, and salted lotus roots. |

Besides Van Dai Cooperative, lotus ponds in An Le and An Vu communes in Quynh Phu district (Thai Binh) are also in full bloom. The owner of Dien Linh garden in An Le commune said that the pond has been open for 5 years, with an area of about 2 hectares, mainly growing a pink lotus variety to serve tourists who come to take pictures. |

Since mid-May, many tourists have come to Thai Binh lotus ponds to take photos. Van Dai Cooperative and An Vu Pond do not sell tickets. The best time to visit the lotus pond and take photos is early in the morning. At this time, the sun is gentle, the petals are still covered with dew, giving off a sweet fragrance. At noon and in the afternoon, when the sun is strong, the lotus flowers will wither. Not only young people, visitors to take pictures of lotus flowers include children and the elderly. The costumes that many people choose when taking pictures of lotus flowers are ao dai, ao ba ba or ao yem of women in the past and conical hats. |
