With just over one month to go to the Tet Festival which will begin on 16 February, flower growers in Da Nang’s Hoa Cuong District are gearing up their production of a wide range of flowers which will be indispensable for decorating homes for Tet. 

In the current wet and cold weather, farmers are striving to ensure that their flower crops will reach full bloom exactly during the forthcoming festival.

Below are some nice photos of the Hoa Cuong flower growing area, taken by freelancer Xuan Son from the DA NANG Newspaper.
