At noon on February 16th (ie December 29th of the lunar calendar), small traders at the Tet Flower Market at 23/9 Park (HCMC) are busy carrying out the final transactions and cleaning up stalls to return the premises on schedule.
To soon complete business and return to reunite with their families, many small traders have proactively reduced prices sharply from 30% to 50%. Flower pots that originally cost 200,000 - 300,000 VND are now only about 100,000 - 150,000 VND.
Ms. Le Thi Hanh, a small trader from Vinh Long, shared: "This year I brought more than 400 pots of flowers to the city. After the 27th of Tet, purchasing power increased sharply, so now I have sold more than 300 pots. This morning I mainly sold at'soft' prices to clean up in time for the bus home trip.
Recorded until nearly 12 pm, most of the booths had dismantled the stall frames. Empty spaces gradually appeared when traders completed handing over the premises to the Organizing Committee.
Cleaning workers and specialized vehicles have begun to collect garbage, leaves and remaining items. According to a worker at the scene, thanks to the good consumption of flowers, the amount of flowers in stock is not large, so it is expected that by 2 pm on the same day, the entire park grounds will be restored to their clean and beautiful appearance for people to have fun and welcome New Year's Eve.
