23/9 Park turns into tet flower market

HCMC – Trucks carrying thousands of potted flowers and ornamental plants have begun arriving at 23/9 Park in Ben Thanh Ward, transforming the site into a large Lunar New Year (Tet) flower market.

In the days leading up to Tet each year, the park becomes a seasonal trading venue for flower growers and vendors.

Large and small trucks have delivered plants and decorative trees, marking the start of the peak Tet sales period.

The market brings together flowers and ornamental plants from various regions across the country. Many distinctive and rare varieties are transported to the park for sale during the holiday season.

For residents of HCMC, the annual concentration of Tet flowers at 23/9 Park signals that the Lunar New Year is approaching.

The flower market operates in the final days of the lunar year, when demand for holiday decorations typically rises.
