(Baonghean.vn) - In the last days of the year, the number of people flocking to Muong Xen town (Ky Son district, Nghe An) to "hunt" for Tet goods is increasing day by day. Both sides of the road in this highland town are busier than ever. Not only during the day but also at night, there are still quite a lot of people buying and selling.
 |
| At night, there are still quite a lot of people flocking to the areas selling Tet specialties. |
 |
| The peach blossom selling area attracts the most buyers. Some people buy them for Tet, others buy them to bring back to the cities in the delta to resell. |
 |
| Many peach sellers take advantage of the opportunity to use blowtorches to burn the peach tree roots, keeping the peach branches fresh longer and easier to sell. |
 |
| Buyers carefully examine the buds and shoots before bargaining. |
 |
| A "row" of peaches is set up overnight to wait for buyers. |
 |
| A person chooses a peach branch that he likes to bring home. |
 |
| The "market" is lit up all night to serve Tet. |
 |
| The products are mainly local goods of the mountainous district of Ky Son and some specialties of Laos. |
 |
| Most peach sellers sleep at the "market" overnight to look after the peaches. Selling these specialty products has been bringing in a lot of profit for traders in this highland town. However, the work is no less hard and risky, as Tet is approaching. Ms. VTH in Cau Tam, Ta Ca commune, Ky Son district said that although Tet is near, there are still many unsold goods. |
