In the days leading up to the 2026 Lunar New Year, the central streets of Lang Son province are filled with the pink color of peach blossoms.
Early in the morning, from Cao Loc, Van Quan communes, Luong Van Tri ward, Ky Lua, peach growers take advantage of bringing the most beautiful peach trees down to the streets.
Peach blossoms are neatly bundled and fixed with red strings, with faint buds interspersed with rose petals that have bloomed in time.
There are tree-shaped trees reaching high, with soft, winding branches, all blending into the fresh spring colors amidst the pale gray sky of the mountains.
The buying and selling atmosphere is bustling. Sellers are busy erecting trees, pruning small branches, and advising customers on how to take care of flowers to bloom on New Year's Eve.
Buyers meticulously admire each bud, choosing a tree shape that is suitable for feng shui and family space. Many families bring their young children to choose peach blossoms, both shopping and feeling the Tet atmosphere is coming very close.
Ms. Vy Thu Trang (Ky Lua ward), a long-time peach grower, said that this year her family has about 1,000 peach trees. Large and beautiful trees have been almost all ordered wholesale by traders before that. Currently, only a few dozen small trees are being brought to the retail market by her to clear the garden.
In the morning, I brought a car here, just brought another car, now there are still about a few dozen small branches left," Ms. Trang shared.
According to PV's records, Lang Son peach blossom prices this year are quite stable.
Bich peach, phai peach, and that thon peach varieties have prices ranging from 200,000 - 800,000 VND/branch depending on the size, tree shape and uniformity of the buds.

Not only local people, many customers from Hanoi and neighboring provinces also come to Lang Son to choose peach blossoms for Tet display.
Mr. Nguyen Van Hung (Long Bien ward, Hanoi) said that his family has been playing Lang Son peach trees for many years.
My family has been playing Lang Son peach blossoms for many years, if we are used to it, it is difficult to play peach blossoms elsewhere, because the flowers are large, bloom evenly, and the color is very bright," Mr. Hung said.
In Luong Van Tri ward, considered the "peach blossom capital" of the central area of Lang Son province, Mr. Hoang Van Tien, owner of a large peach garden, said that about 400 peach trees in his family's main garden have almost been sold out.
Especially huyền peach blossoms this year are completely out of stock. Currently, there are only a few small trees left, about ten white peach trees and a few thất thốn peach trees, but from now until Tet, they will probably be sold out," Mr. Tien informed.
According to the local agricultural sector, by early 2026, the peach growing area in Lang Son will continue to be maintained and developed, concentrated in areas such as Vu Le commune, Tuan Son commune and Luong Van Tri ward.
Many specialized farming areas have been formed, with households earning more than 100 million VND/year from peach trees.
Along with expanding the area, bích peach, phai kép peach, and thất thốn peach varieties are focused on applying high techniques in creating shapes, regulating blooming time, and improving product value.
Many Cooperatives (HTX) participate in technical guidance, standardizing care processes, contributing to building the Lang Son peach brand.
