Few days prior to Tet, flower shops across Da Nang are busy preparing for varieties of colourful flowers to serve the huge demand of locals for home decorations.

As observed, flower shops on such major downtown streets as Ton Duc Thang, Ton Dan, Trung Nu Vuong, and Dong Da are packed with visitors. A wide range of colourful flowers are now available for sale at these shops.
