As Tet Nguyen Dan 2026 approaches, many young people choose quite different ao dai photo locations. In Ho Chi Minh City, a popular water stall about 50 years old has become a place to attract Tet photos.
This address is Huu Duyen ginseng drink shop located on Nguyen Trai street (Cho Lon ward), specializing in selling 24-flavor ginseng and cassava root according to Chinese family recipes.
The small water stall of the elderly owner attracts young people because of the old signboard with traditional stainless steel ginseng carts. Inside the house, handwritten Chinese signs are hung, and decals are pasted. When taking photos here, many young people associate it with the atmosphere of Hong Kong (China) movies.
Mr. Doan An Phu (20 years old, Ho Chi Minh City) said: "In the past one or two months, this ginseng drink shop has become popular with young people. We, street photographers, have also quickly updated the trend.
Mr. Phu commented that the ginseng drink shop owner is very cute and open so that models can pose comfortably and as satisfactorily as possible. He also praised the ginseng drink at the shop for being very delicious.
A representative of the Ai Chụp Thì Sách photo group shared: "On peak days, we wait about 30 minutes for our turn. The restaurant is so crowded, but everyone tries to take pictures for about 10-15 minutes to give way to the long line of people behind.
In particular, when taking photos here, the photo groups remind each other to buy water to support the owner, maintain order and hygiene, and not affect business.
Each glass of water costs 10,000 VND, contained in a glass. Many friends have also used ginseng water glasses as props in street photos. Huu Duyen ginseng water shop opens from early morning to 10 pm.
Ginseng water is a fairly familiar herbal drink for Southern people. This drink is often cooked from many Southern medicinal herbs, which have the effect of cooling down and quenching thirst. With its mild sweetness, ginseng water is often drunk cold, very popular on hot sunny days.
