(Baonghean.vn) - At the end of the year, traders and people from all communes of the mountainous district of Ky Son transport peach blossoms to Muong Xen town to sell. The bustling atmosphere, bustling with buyers and sellers, makes Muong Xen town a "peach market". In the afternoons, when people transport peach blossoms from faraway communes such as Muong Long, Tay Son, Huoi Tu, Nam Can, the peach market becomes even more crowded.

At the end of the lunar year every year, peach growers and small traders gather to bring peaches to Muong Xen town to sell. This year, despite the cold weather, many people brought peaches down to sell. |
 |
Because peach trees are mainly grown in remote communes with difficult terrain, traders and people use motorbikes as the main means of transport to transport peach trees to the district town. |
 |
At Muong Xen peach market, there are not only Vietnamese peaches but also Lao peaches brought over by traders from Laos for sale. This is a large market, so these days there are dozens of small trucks carrying peaches from Laos for sale. |
 |
Peaches are carefully arranged waiting for people from all over to come and buy. |
 |
The area on both sides of Muong Xen bridge has the most peach blossoms and also attracts the most buyers. |
 |
Because it's not Tet yet, both sellers and buyers often choose peach branches that have not bloomed many buds. |
 |
The special thing about Ky Son peach and Lao peach is the moldy peach, this is a specialty that peach players love during Tet. |
 |
To transport peaches downstream, peach buyers must be careful to avoid crushing the peach branches, which would reduce the beauty of the peach branches. |
 |
Some traders from the plains drove trucks up to Muong Xen town to hunt for mold peaches. |
 |
Some people from the lowlands asked vans to take them back. |
 |
Peaches are also "stored" in some houses, waiting for the price to increase before being sold. |
