These Tet flower markets will run till January 21, following their inaugurations on Saturday.
Early in the morning, as merchants displayed ornamental plants, some early risers took advantage of the opportunity to buy the plants while doing exercise.
Despite the low purchasing power, merchants are optimistic about a prosperous Tet season.

“A few days ago, as the weather suddenly turned unfavorable with repeated unseasonal rains, I was also concerned that the flowers might bloom early and die.
“The weather has fortunately improved over the past few days. I hope my business will go smoothly,” Vinh, a merchant of a flower stall at Le Van Tam Park, shared.
As a tradition, a flower festival will be held at Tao Dan Park in District 1 starting January 16, showcasing thousands of unique flowers and decorative plants.
In District 8, Binh Dong Wharf is a go-to place for people seeking flowers for the Tet holiday, with hundreds of flower varieties brought from the Mekong Delta.
