Vinh City traders "eat and sleep together" with peach and kumquat for Tet
(Baonghean.vn) - The peach and kumquat season is in full swing. In Vinh City, many traders set up tents and tarpaulins to "eat and sleep together" with kumquat, peach, and flowers. At night, the outside temperature sometimes drops below 10 degrees Celsius, but people selling ornamental plants, flowers, and peach blossoms for Tet still have to stay up all night in makeshift tents.
