Hoi An, Vietnam</h3> <p>In spring, the city of Hoi An's Malabar almond (Terminalia catappa) trees undergo a magical transformation. Rather than blooming with pink or white flowers, the trees see in spring with vibrant red leaves, before shedding them - an oddly European sight in far flung Vietnam. While Northern Vietnam (Hanoi) is famous for its spring peach blossom and Southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh) is famed for its yellow apricot flowers, lesser known Hoi An's reddened almond trees are the most unusual sign of spring in the country. </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyImage section"> <div class="article-body-image component " itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject" data-frz-ancestor> <div class="component-content"> <figure> <span class="article-body-image-image-container"> <div class="lazy-image article-body-image-image " style="padding-top:63.89%;" data-js="LazyImage" data-class="lazy-image__img" data-src="/web/20200215065436oe_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=480" data-srcset="/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=480 480w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=960 960w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=580 580w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=1160 1160w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=620 620w,/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=1240 1240w" data-sizes="100vw,(min-width: 480px) 480px,(min-width: 730px) 580px,(min-width: 1008px) 620px" data-alt="Red Malabar trees in Hoi An, Vietnam"> <noscript> <img class="responsive lazy-image__img article-body-image-image" src="/web/20200215065436im_/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/Travel/2020/February/la-bang-do-hoi-an-vnexpress-2-2137-7637-1581321929.jpg?imwidth=480" alt="Red Malabar trees in Hoi An, Vietnam"/> </noscript> </div> </span> <figcaption> <span itemprop="caption" class="article-body-image-caption">Red Malabar trees in Hoi An, Vietnam</span> <span itemprop="copyrightHolder" class="article-body-image-copyright"> <span class="article-body-image-copyright-label">Credit:</span> VN Express </span> </figcaption> </figure> </div> </div> </div> <div class="articleBodyText section"> <div class="article-body-text component "> <div class="component-content"> <h3>2.
