Like other ten o'clock flower roads in the West, this small road was originally planted by Mr. Pham Van Nghe and his wife to prevent weeds from growing and causing landslides on both sides of the bank.
Two years have passed, and Uncle Nghe's whole family has joined in planting and taking care of the flowers. From small flower bushes, it has now become a nearly 200-meter-long path, winding through the green rice fields, opening a poetic path leading to a peaceful little house in Hamlet 2, Quy Duc Commune, Binh Chanh.
The flower clusters are brilliant in the sun, bringing a gentle fragrance, which is an adornment to the living space of the people in the hamlet. Not only Mr. Nghe’s family, but the practice of creating flower paths around the house has gradually become a cultural feature that has spread to neighboring families.
The flower road is not located on the main road, and is hidden by two rows of dense green rice, so it was not until recently, when a photo series by travel blogger Ngo Tran Hai An was shared online, that the ten o'clock flower road received more attention, attracting many young people to travel a long distance to "admire" and check-in.
Some small notes for those who are planning to visit the ten o'clock flower street of the uncle and aunt:
You should go to the flower street in the morning, from 9 to 11 o'clock, because this is the time when the flowers bloom most beautifully during the day.
The flower road is only over 1 meter wide. When visiting, you should leave your car outside and walk inside, or slow down so that your car does not run over the flower branches growing on the road.
Each flower bed is the result of the whole family's care, so do not pick, break, or sit on the flowers. Do not cause noise pollution or damage to the landscape by: Keeping order and not littering.
Finally, Uncle Nghe's family is very hospitable, when you come to visit and take pictures, you should come and say hello and ask permission politely. If you are lucky, you will be invited to drink tea or enthusiastically guided by them, and importantly, it is also a thank you and appreciation for the efforts of the uncle and aunt in creating a peaceful and poetic road of ten o'clock flowers.
