Tet is in full bloom on the streets of Hanoi, nowhere more so than amid the peach blossoms and ornamental trees on display at the Quang An Market.

Along Au Co Street, branches of peach blossoms are being sold for VND50,000 to VND150,000 (USD7).

Many visitors are flocking to the market for flowers to decorate their homes for Tet, while young people gather to take pictures of each other against the colourful backdrops of blossoms.

Flower growers at Nhat Tan Village said thanks to this year's favourable weather, the flowers should be in full blossom in time for the Lunar New Year on February 8.
