Can not talking about Autumn without talking Hanoi
Musician Trinh Cong Son described the autumn of the capital in a sincere and emotional way through the song “Nho mua thu Ha Noi” (Missing Hanoi’s Autumn).
Hà Nội mùa thu, cây cơm nguội vàng, cây bàng lá đỏ,
nằm kề bên nhau, phố xưa nhà cổ, mái ngói thâm nâu. Hà Nội mùa thu, mùa thu Hà Nội, mùa hoa sữa về thơm từng ngọn gió, mùa cốm xanh về, thơm bàn tay nhỏ, cốm sữa vỉa hè, thơm bước chân qua. Hồ Tây chiều thu, mặt nước vàng lay bờ xa mời gọi. Màu sương thương nhớ, bầy sâm cầm nhỏ vỗ cánh mặt trời. Hà Nội mùa thu đi giữa mọi người, lòng như thầm hỏi, tôi đang nhớ ai, sẽ có một ngày trời thu Hà Nội trả lời cho tôi, sẽ có một ngày từng con đường nhỏ trả lời cho tôi. Hà Nội mùa thu, mùa thu Hà Nội, nhớ đến một người... Để nhớ mọi người.

The September is the best cool since the beginning of the year as the weather turns cool, a little cold and the temperature always keep under 30 degree celsius. The darker it is, the colder it is. Sometime we have abrupt mixed emotions in this weather likely winter breeze atmosphere.
Visiting the flower gardens this season will be full of young green buds, tiny that make the soul flutter strange.
Annually, the famous hoa sua or the milk flower exudes its bewitching fragrance. On streets like Phan Dinh Phung, Nguyen Du, Quang Trung and many other places, the scent is so strong that some people, said they feel faint.
