In recent years, the hobby of playing with peach trees during Tet has flourished in Vinh city. Before each Lunar New Year, most families look for peach branches with beautiful shapes, many flowers, many buds, young shoots, and healthy branches to play with during Tet. The high demand for peach trees, along with unique hobbies such as stone peach trees, moldy peach trees, and bonsai peach trees, has caused the price of peach trees to skyrocket. There are peach branches and peach trees worth up to tens of millions of dong, small branches also cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dong. However, from the 4th day of Tet onwards, the million-dollar peach branches, carefully cared for and cherished, have turned into dry branches, thrown carelessly next to piles of trash. Since the Khai Ha ceremony (the 7th day of Tet), the amount of peach trees thrown into landfills, intersections, sidewalks, and streets of Vinh city has increased.
