]]> Finding a flower market in the city is not a problem when it comes to Lunar New Year. Flower markets are everywhere in Saigon. All the sellers from the agricultural land of Southern Vietnam gather, carrying such big claypots with each holding a different kind of plant for Tết.
Speaking of Southern, if you have heard about Can Tho, then probably you would have heard about the renowned floating market with the wooden boats congested the Cuu Long river.

Down the Southern of HCMC in Dis.8 lies a floating market that sells all kinds of flowers. They’re called ‘Bình Đông flower market’. It only opens when Tet is near. Traders bring the plants to the city by boats, and park them line by line at the Tau Hu canal. Whether you want to buy a plant, or just go sight-seeing, this market is a must-see for your trip to HCMC in Lunar New Year.

]]> You must have known the Nguyễn Huệ walking street in the center of Saigon. But do you know when the best time to visit here is?
It is when Tết comes!
‘Nguyễn Huệ walking street’ will be turned into ‘Nguyễn Huệ flower street’, making Saigon more magnificient.

Like its name, the street is filled with beautiful flowers and Tết traditional decors. No bikes, no cars, just people moving chaotically, but I guarantee you that it is definitely worth visiting. It is where you can explore not just the Vietnamese New Year traditions, but also the whole vast culture that lies within.
