You always think you have to go to Tower Ten to see the lotus lagoon is when you have never known Tam Da (District 9, Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City), where the lotus pond stretches with an area of more than 5,000 square meters.
Tam Da lotus pond is in full bloom season, each square meter has 3 or more lotus buds, every time from 5 to 10 am, the lotus here blooms to create the most beautiful scenery of the day. Pink lotus wings rise up to welcome the sun and then tilt slightly so that the dew falls on the large green leaves, each lotus leaf has a diameter of several tens of meters and grows closed, covering the whole pond surface.
Tam Da lotus pond has been in place since 2015, the name Of Tam Da is named after the name of the pond. People in this area often call the region the Sanya region.
Lotus flowers are not even rarer flowers that grow wild, but in the Vietnamese mind consider this flower almost national flower and will never be able to forget the saying: “Near the mud without smelling of mud”.
According to Mr. Ly Van Am, owner of Tam Da lotus pond, the lotus pond has an initial area of up to 4ha but because he wants to develop it into a large flower garden model, catering to the entertainment and enjoying needs of the people, about two years ago he began experimenting with a variety of flowers from sunflowers , ten o’clock flowers to clones, flowers,… and perhaps up to now sunflowers are the most suitable flower in this place. So in addition to lotus pond, Tam Da also has a field of sunflowers to please visitors.

This sunflower garden has an area of about 5,000 square meters, each flower is an average of 1.5 meters high, planted in beds 30cm apart each horizontal row and 50cm each vertical row calculated by the garden owner to leave the path for visitors. Unlike lotus flowers blooming all year round, each sunflower has a blooming cycle within 10 days. The most dazzling flowering time of the day is between 9 a.m. and before 5 p.m.
