People always flock to the Tet flower marketplaces in the two biggest cities in the nation, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, at the end of the year.
There is a lot of Tet shopping going on in the days before the Lunar New Year, which makes the environment quite busy. It is simple to witness people riding motorbikes back and forth while carrying peaches and apricots as you stroll through the flower market. To celebrate the New Year of the Ox in 2021, the "capitals" of fresh flowers listed below can offer a variety of buying possibilities.
1. HANG LUOC FLOWER MARKET
With a history spanning more than 500 years, Tet and springtime in Hanoi have long been associated with the Hang Luoc Flower Market. The residents of the capital find wonderful old memories that are difficult to find elsewhere when they come here, in addition to purchasing flowers and strolling the streets.

The market opens on December 23 according to the lunar calendar and is busy and crowded until New Year's Eve. Customers should leave their cars at the gate and walk inside the market because it is located in the old town area and has a somewhat limited path, making it difficult for them to move about and choose the flowers they like.
2. QUANG BA FLOWER MARKET - HA NOI
The most popular and active night flower village in Hanoi is undoubtedly Quang Ba. Five kilometers from the capital's heart, the market on Nghi Tam dike is constantly bustling with customers and vendors. Typically, the market is open from 11 p.m. to daybreak.

However, on Tet, the market stays open all night and has been drawing shoppers since Mr. Tao's day of departure for heaven. People riding motorbikes to the market from Nghi Tam street need to exercise caution because it is situated on a busy main route.
3. HO THI KY FLOWER MARKET - HO CHI MINH CITY
Referring to the Tet flower market in Ho Chi Minh City, the name Ho Thi Ky cannot be missed. This large wholesale flower market, which has been there for more than 30 years and is 4 kilometers from the city center, is situated close to the Le Hong Phong residential building. This location is busy throughout the Lunar New Year, whether day or night.

Ho Chi Minh City's flower market "doesn't sleep" during Tet. |
"Flowers of many varieties, from imported to domestic, are accessible in Da Lat, the West, or Hanoi, and the costs are reasonable. Because flower traders transport a lot of flowers at this time, I typically ride my motorcycle in the evening to select the flowers I want.’’, said Mr. Binh (District 10, Ho Chi Minh City).
4. BINH DONG FLOWER MARKET- HO CHI MINH CITY
A well-known location for city dwellers is Binh Dong wharf floating flower market, which is located 10 miles from the city center. Flower growers in the Southwest region have been busy transporting boats full with Tet flowers to Binh Dong dock since the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month.

It is common in Ben Binh Dong market to see a scene like "on the dock under the boat’’.

Tet flowers are frequently planted in pots, rarely separating branches like other traditional markets, therefore customers should bring a rope to attach their pots securely to their motorbikes when visiting the market.
Carrying flowers is like carrying Tet home; it spreads the springtime vibe across the crowded cars that enter and exit each market. People visiting the spring market in the days before Tet should take precautions to protect their personal belongings and walk carefully to avoid the congested and confusing traffic.
