Compared to last year, this year the sunflowers bloomed later. However, from December 29, 2017 to January 1, 2018, many people and tourists flocked to visit the sunflower fields in Nghia Dan district.

Instant photography and photography equipment rental services are also popular. In particular, spontaneous motorbike and car parking services along Ho Chi Minh Road have also arbitrarily raised prices. Some parking spots "rip off" cars by 30,000 VND to 50,000 VND, making tourists feel uneasy.

Because the Ho Chi Minh road section through the sunflower field has no sidewalk, many people go out into the street to compete, wave invitations to park their vehicles, buy services, and buy goods, making this section of the road quite chaotic and causing traffic disorder.

Because of the drizzle in the past few days, the sunflower fields are muddy and slippery, so the boot and umbrella rental service costs from 10,000 VND to 20,000 VND/time.

Many tourists have to buy plastic bags to put in their shoes and sandals to avoid getting dirty. Therefore, the vendors here also sell plastic bags for 1,000 VND to 2,000 VND/bag.

Food, beverage, and game sales services are also flourishing.
