The Captivating Cosmos: A Floral Spectacle Under Long Bien Bridge

Hanoi locals and visitors alike are in for a treat as they witness the vibrant yellow cosmos flowers blooming beneath the iconic Long Bien Bridge. After Typhoon Yagi, the once-flooded wastelands of the Red River’s tidal flats have transformed into a stunning sea of golden blossoms in just over a month. This magical setting, located in Phuc Xa Ward, Hoan Kiem District, spans an impressive 10 hectares, offering a breathtaking sight to all who visit.
The flower fields, a result of a nature restoration project by local associations such as the Women’s Union, Veterans’ Association, and Youth Union, in collaboration with residents, offer a beautiful contrast to the bridge’s sturdy structure.


This alluvial land is susceptible to flooding when the Red River’s water levels rise. However, when the waters recede, it transforms into a stunning flower field, providing a delightful leisure spot for tourists and locals alike.


The flower fields flourish due to the dedicated care of the local residents, and according to plans, this region will become a significant tourist development area for the capital, benefiting the surrounding communities economically.


Late autumn and early winter are when the fields of yellow cosmos truly shine, illuminated by the soft light of dawn. This breathtaking landscape has captured the hearts of both young people and photography enthusiasts, drawing a large crowd on weekends.


With the combined efforts of local authorities and residents, this area is well on its way to becoming a sought-after tourist destination, attracting visitors from near and far.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added. Bui Xuan Hoa, Ta’s predecessor, attributed the incident to the team’s lack of expertise in the regulations and legal procedures surrounding the transfer of player Pham Thanh Tiep. Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract.

According to FIFA regulations, when a club signs a prof...
