From late spring to mid-summer, northern Vietnam comes alive with the vibrant hues and fragrances of lychee season. In the provinces of Bắc Giang and Hải Dương, farmers rise with the sun to handpick these jewel-like fruits — known for their rosy skins, floral aroma, and juicy, translucent sweetness.
More than just a seasonal treat, lychee season is a cherished tradition rooted in rural life. It’s a time when generations come together in the orchards, celebrating the land’s bounty. Whether enjoyed fresh, chilled, or dried under the sun, Vietnamese lychees offer a taste of summer that’s truly unforgettable.
