Hanoi’s autumn is considered the season of romance and famous for green rice, the blooming season of many species of flowers.

Hanoi’s autumn is the most suitable time to explore the capital, by starting a new day at Hoan Kiem lake, breathing the fresh air, tasting some green rice and ending the day watching the sunset at West Lake.

Autumn in Hanoi also has its own flavors, those of the delicacies only served in this season. The first thing to mention in autumn is green rice or Com. In addition to fresh rice, it is also processed into many kinds of dishes such as sweet soup, sticky rice, cake or fried grounded pork with Com. Photo: dacsancomtuoi
