In the days leading up to Tet (Lunar New Year), following tourists to visit the flower villages of Tan Quy Dong, Cai Mon, and Cho Lach, one can truly appreciate the vibrant beauty of countless flowers and the bustling, busy atmosphere of the gardeners preparing for the Tet season. Some are planting seedlings, others are pruning branches, preparing flowerbeds, weaving baskets, and potting... From one end of the flower village to the other, you can feel the hurried atmosphere of labor preparing for the Tet flower season.
Gathering thousands of ornamental flower varieties, from familiar common plants like chrysanthemums, marigolds, and peonies... to indoor decorative plants and bonsai, these flower villages are the main suppliers of flowers for the Mekong Delta provinces, Ho Chi Minh City, and surrounding areas. Visitors here, in addition to being captivated by the diverse and abundant flowers, also learn about the characteristics, origins, meanings, and spiritual and economic value of each type of flower. Immersing oneself in the gentle fragrance of the flowers brings a sense of peace and tranquility as the New Year approaches.
Besides its famous flower villages, the Mekong Delta is also attractive with its myriad of fruits, including the renowned Lai Vung mandarin oranges, famous for their sweet and refreshing taste and distinctive aroma. Visitors are initially surprised by the sheer abundance of mandarins, with some hanging almost to the ground. The mandarins are bright orange, glossy, round, and firm.
After a hands-on farming experience with the orchard owner, visitors can reward themselves with ripe, juicy tangerines. Peeling off the thin skin releases a delicate aroma, and a bite reveals a sweet taste with a hint of sourness, creating an unforgettable flavor. These tangerines also make a delightful and meaningful souvenir for family and friends.
In the tranquil countryside setting, visitors can easily witness scenes of families gathered around trays of rice, meat, and green banana leaves, along with the smoke rising from pots of sticky rice cakes, the popping of rice cakes, and the rhythmic scraping of battered rice cakes, all evoking a sense of anticipation and signaling the approaching Tet holiday.
