Early Tet stirs up in the West

In the days before Tet, following tourists to visit the flower villages of Tan Quy Dong, Cai Mon, Cho Lach, you can feel the splendor of the flowers and the bustling atmosphere of the gardeners during the Tet season.

Going from one end of the flower village to the other, you can feel the bustling atmosphere of work preparing to serve the Tet flower season.

Gathering thousands of ornamental flowers, from familiar rustic ones such as chrysanthemums, marigolds, dahlias... to ornamental plants for interior decoration, bonsai, these flower villages are the main suppliers of flowers for the Western provinces, Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring areas. Visitors coming here, in addition to being satisfied with the diverse and rich flowers, can also hear about the characteristics, origin, meaning and spiritual and economic value of each ornamental flower.

Not only famous flower villages, the West is also attractive with countless types of fruit, including Lai Vung pink grapefruit famous for its sweet taste and characteristic aroma. The first impression of visitors will be very bewildered because there are so many grapefruits here, some of which hang down almost to the ground. The grapefruits are orange-yellow, shiny, round and firm.
