| At this time of year, streets like Lenin Avenue and the Central Park area are becoming bustling with flower and ornamental plant markets preparing for Tet (Lunar New Year). |
 |
| Peach blossom branches from the western part of Nghe An province, including those from Laos, have been gathered in Vinh City in preparation for the Tet (Lunar New Year) peach blossom season. These branches are priced at an average of 5-10 million VND, with some particularly beautiful branches costing 30-40 million VND. |

Besides collecting wild peach blossoms, many people enjoy collecting ancient peach trees from Nhat Tan peach blossom village. Each tree is cared for and shaped differently to meet the diverse needs of customers. |
 |
| Besides peach blossoms, kumquat trees are also popular during the Lunar New Year, symbolizing prosperity and longevity. To meet the demand for the Year of the Rooster, nurseries have imported many ancient kumquat trees, those that possess all four auspicious qualities: beautiful shape, beautiful and abundant fruit, and lush, fresh shoots. |
