A Glimpse of the Lotus Girl
Nestled in the Che Beo valley, beneath layers of towering mountains, lies a quiet land that moves to the gentle rhythm of nature.
Long ago, people came here seeking stillness. Today, the Lotus Girl has quietly returned, bringing with her a deep love for traditional values and a dream of creating a peaceful haven in everyday life. With caring hands and a heart rooted in the land, Halise slowly took shape—like a pure lotus rising from the mud.
Halise is more than a tranquil retreat; it is a unique ecosystem of Vietnamese lotus. Here, the Lotus Girl and the local community make use of the land’s precious lotus to craft a wide range of experiences and products—from refined, lotus-scented cuisine to cultural journeys rich in local soul.
A Journey with Lotus
Carrying a deep love for nature and traditional culture, Thanh Huyen chose the ancient capital of Hoa Lu — a land of peace and quiet reflection — to begin her journey.
Inspired by the love of lotus and timeless traditions
Reviving lowland soil – nurturing the lotus dream
From a simple dream of having her own lotus garden, Huyen slowly revived the sunken land with over 30 rare lotus varieties, shaping a space that blends ecology with cultural depth.
Spreading the values of lotus through products and experiences
Beyond cultivating lotus, the Lotus Girl nurtures a dream of making it a way of life. From fermented lotus tea and lotus wine to tea meditation, cooking classes, yoga, and slow-living journeys — each experience carries the imprint of culture.
Telling stories through culture – living with kindness
To the Lotus Girl, Halise is more than a brand – it is where a philosophy of sustainable, serene, and refined living is quietly rooted. Each creation is like a lotus seed – carrying purity, peace, and the timeless beauty of the Vietnamese soul.
Philosophy
Live slowly – craft mindfully – choose kindness
To Huyen, all good things begin with quiet sincerity. Planting a lotus, brewing a cup of tea, or crafting an experience – each must be done with patient hands and a wholehearted heart.
Respect nature – preserve culture – live in harmony with the land
The lotus has taught Huyen to live gently yet firmly, to see the world with compassion, and to hold a quiet space within herself amid life’s noise. Huyen choose to sow what is kind and true — for people, for the land, and for generations to come.
