Lotus to be grown at Hanoi lakes
Authorities in Tay Ho District, Hanoi, will start growing West Lake or Bach Diep Lotus at four lakes from March.
They are collaborating with the Fruit & Vegetable Research Institute to implement a project on integrated lotus cultivation and eco-tourism development.
The first phase of the project, running from March to June, will see lotus plants covering a total area of 7.5 hectares across Dau Dong and Thuy Su lakes in Quang An Ward, and Ao Sen 1 and Ao Sen 2 in Nhat Tan District.
Bach Diep Lotus, known for its use in tea, decoration, and culinary purposes, is distinguished by its unique feature of having up to 100 petals.
In the project's second phase, the initiative will expand to include lotus cultivation over 20 hectares across approximately 20 lakes in Tay Ho District.
Next week, workers will transport the lotus to Dong Dau Lake.
Nguyen Thanh Tinh, Vice Chairman of Tay Ho District, noted that the area dedicated to lotus cultivation in Tay Ho District has been decreasing since 2018.
Restoring lotus plantations is crucial for developing lotus tea production, he added.
