Starting out as a person who loves the gentle, peaceful beauty of the countryside, the owner of the "Emotion Station" shop - Ms. Pham Ngoc Tram Anh said: "The shop has been in operation since Tet 2022. The idea was formed after the Covid-19 pandemic, I often went back to my hometown in Phung Chau with my children, in the afternoon I cycled to the fields, played soccer, flew kites... The countryside scenery every sunset is very poetic, beautiful and peaceful. From there, the idea of the shop was formed with the desire to share this space with more people".
