Another spring comes around. It's time for us to leave the business, work, and worries in life behind and join our family for relaxation and entertainment at the beginning of the year.

Yellow phoenix flowers are in full bloom, making a sign of poetic beauty to Bao Loc city in the days leading up to Tet. The yellow covers Bao Loc Province, creating a painting-like photo.

Walking on the path of yellow phoenix flowers in the monastery grounds, you'll feel your soul more relaxed. When the flower blooms, the yellow colour of the flower contrasts with the green background of the tea hill. A green tea area comes in around the monastery.

"Another tower comes up in Bat Nha Monastery near the main gate. The monks show their friendship to welcome local people and tourists to take their photos. However, this is a place of meditation. When visiting and taking photos, you need to pay attention to keep quiet," a visitor said. 

Around 15 yellow phoenix trees are available in Bao Loc city; this monastery alone has five trees along the stairs not far from the main gate, surrounded by green tea hills. Every spring, you'll view flowers covering a corner of the sky, offering a beautiful horizon.

You'll see phoenix trees here and there. Their canopy covers a large area. What photographer Ky Nhan shared likes is walking along yellow phoenix flowers in the monastery grounds; his soul was flying with birds' singing.

This year's golden phoenix season captured more visitors than last year. The bright yellow flowers on the branches draw everyone to look up when they first come here.

The local planted only three trees in Bao Loc in 1929, then growing and expanded in this city. In addition to Bat Nha monastery, you'll see golden phoenix in areas such as parish church Tan Thanh, Loc Thanh commune.
