VTV.vn - Let's take a look at Nhật Tân flower village in Hanoi to enjoy the beauty of peach blossoms, a symbol of this traditional holiday.

The Lunar New Year (Tet) is just two weeks away. However, the atmosphere of Tet is already being felt around every corner.

Le Ham, Peach grower, Nhat Tan flower village, Tay Ho District, Hanoi said: "We are so familiar with the farming but always excited and anxious when Tet is coming because the trees are easily affected by weather”.

The village lost around one third of its peach trees. Fortunately, the weather has been getting better. As a result, the rest of the trees will be ready to be delivered on time. Local growers say that the overall situation is positive. Even though business is slow right now, it is within their expectations.

Nhat Tan flower village and neighbouring villages like Nghi Tam, Tu Lien, Phu Thuong that are well known for ornamental plants have become more crowded in the last few years as visitors, particular young people, come to take photos with flowers.

Nhat Tan flower village in Nhat Tan Ward, Tay Ho District is famous for peach flowers. Most of the 140 ha of farming land in the ward is used to grow peach flowers. About 690 local households grow peach flowers there.

In 2008, the National Office of Intellectual Property under the Ministry of Sciences and Technology granted a patent for the peach flowers grown in Nhat Tan village.

On December 22, Hanoi's People's Committee granted the village the title “Hanoi Traditional Trade Village 2015" which is expected to promote the image of the flower village.
