| Every year when Tet comes, Sa Dec flower village bustles up. Visitors from all over the country flock here to experience the beauty of Tet's flowers. From Ho Chi Minh City, you only need to drive about 150 km. Since Sa Dec is located on the main traffic axis to the West, getting here relatively easy. (Photo: Zing News) |

| Those who prefer natural scenery can choose the second option, which is to go to the flower house. In Sa Dec, farmers grow each kind of flower separately, without adding miniatures. To get to this area, you need to follow the road behind Sa Dec flower village, drive to Cai Dao bridge, then turn right onto a small road on the side of the bridge to loop back. (Photo: Zing News) |

| Wandering on the village's road, you will easily catch sight of people busy watering flowers, packing, tying, and waiting for the traders' cars to come to pick them up for selling. (Photo: Zing News) |

| In Sa Dec, people use small boats to move through the flower beds and take care of the trees. Most flower pots are placed on trellises that do not touch the ground. This helps people in fertilizing each pot. (Photo: Zing News) |
 |
| The most famous flower in Sa Dec is raspberry-shaped daisies. If you like this kind of flowers, then head to the flower village in Tan Khanh Dong, about 6-7 km from the center of Sa Dec. Local people here are quite easygoing and gentle, so you can also ask to take pictures. According to personal experience, visitors who like raspberry-shaped daisies should go from early morning. At this time of the day, people will start working so you will have a good chance for taking photos. (Photo: Zing News) |
