Hanoi's flower village bustling with Tet preparations
Me Linh Village is one of the flower hubs supplying fresh flowers to Hanoi and the northern provinces.
Known as one of Hanoi's largest wholesale flower markets, Me Linh Flower Village is busier than ever as Tet approaches.
Tet or Lunar New Year, is Vietnam's longest holiday, which falls in the Spring when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom.

Although it does not have the millennia-long history of flower cultivation of Ngoc Ha and Nhat Tan villages in Hanoi, Me Linh now boasts more than 600 hectares of flowers. |
Many flowers start to bloom to get ready for Tet.

Beautiful and abundant flowers are expected to bring a large income to farmers this Tet holiday.

The best time to visit Me Linh is between the 12th lunar month and the third lunar month of the New Year. |
