Posing with lotus

Due to urbanisation, the area of lotus by West Lake is shrinking, but still retain the special fragrance that visitors come to enjoy.

Lotus tea is especially popular, if expensive; it costs VND6-10m a kilogram.

Other owners of lotus lakes in Quang An Ward have incorporated restaurants with the scenery to attract customers. During the season peak, they can earn more than VND100m a day. Enjoying food by a lotus lake
