At first glance, you might think that this flower only exists in movies, but in reality, the Tian Shan Snow Lotus is a real flower. It only grows in rock crevices at altitudes of 2500-4000 meters above sea level, in areas such as Xinjiang and Tibet in China. It blooms only once every seven years, making it incredibly rare. From barren and rugged terrain emerges a delicate white flower, blooming elegantly like a lotus amidst the white snow. People believe that the unique shape of the Tian Shan Snow Lotus comes from a crystallization of wind, clouds, and snow.
The Thiên Sơn snow lotus is a beautiful and rare flower. In Vietnam, it is also considered a precious food that the wealthy seek to improve their health or give as gifts. Its market price is around 5 million VND per flower or 80-100 million VND per kilogram.
This flower is highly sought after by the wealthy.
