(QNO) - The red colour of the blooming Firmiana Simplex flowers on the Cham Islands, blending with the green of the mountains and the blue of the sea, attracts much more visitors. They go there to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
In late July, Firmiana Simplex flowers bloom brightly across the forests on the Cham Islands (18 km from Hoi An, Quang Nam). This place is recognised as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve due to its rich ecosystem with more than 950 aquatic species preserved. Cham Islands is one of the favourite tourist attractions in Quang Nam because of its wild beauty.
The coastal road on the Pearl (Hòn Lao in Vietnamese), the largest island of the Cham Islands, is coloured red with Firmiana Simplex flowers. The Firmiana Simplex flower season starts in late July and lasts until late August on the Cham Islands.
Firmiana Simplex trees grow on rocky mountains; the drier and sunnier it is, the more brilliantly the flowers bloom.
The Firmiana Simplex trees bloom intermixed with other wild trees on the mountain slopes, along the coastal road, providing a convenient setting for travellers to enjoy the scenery and take photos.
The red of Firmiana Simplex flowers makes the scenery more poetic. Travellers to the Cham Islands during the blooming season of Firmiana Simplex feel very delighted by its bright red colour standing out against the green forest background.
A lot of travellers to the Cham Islands often choose Xep Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches there, where they can find several ancient Firmiana Simplex trees close to the sea.
Currently, many more Firmiana Simplex trees have been planted in public places and in residents' yards on the islands. The red of Firmiana Simplex flowers against the blue sky, with boats reaching out to sea in the distance, gives visitors a unique and indescribable feeling.
The erythrina trees have long been a part of the local lives. Three of them, aged between 155 and 250, in Bai Lang village were recognised as Vietnam Heritage Trees in April 2015.
Simplex trees are very useful in daily life. Their seeds and bark are used to make hammocks, a popular handicraft product, oil, sunscreen, and food.
Travellers to the Cham Islands in the Simplex flower season can also take part in some activities, including snorkelling to see coral reefs, camping, paragliding, and enjoying fresh seafood and local dishes.
