Despite there still being over a month to go until the start of Tet, several peach flower branches have gone on sale at Quang An flower market, indicating the first signs that Tet is just around the corner.

Due to the fame of the Quang An flower market, many customers come there in order to choose beautiful peach branches to decorate their home.

During this period the price of each peach branch remains relatively high, between VND50,000 and VND500,000, depending on the size.

Each peach branch is carefully bound together in order to avoid breaking during its transportation.

Soft pink flowers appear in full bloom during the winter.

It is a common habit of many local people to purchase peach blossoms around the end of November and into December.

Amid the cold weather and drizzly conditions, the sight of peach blossoms around the streets of Hanoi signals the approach of Tet.

Gardeners in Nhat Tan flower gardens water their plants in order to retain heat for their peach trees so that they can bloom just in time for Tet.
