Nearly 20km from the center of Hanoi, Tay Tuu flower village in Tu Liem district has a long-time floriculture and this trade is growing strongly. Every year, Tay Tuu provides domestic and international markets with over 250 million flowers of all kinds.

At night, gardeners go to the field to cut flowers. The yellow daisies, red roses, purple hearth-bells and colorful carnations are still wet by mist. Flower buyers are mainly flower distributors, who buy big bundles of flowers right at the field.

The Tay Tuu night flower market opens right at the flower field. Flowers are not displayed like in flower shops but they are piled up on paths at edge of flower fields, lightened up by flashlight. So buyers cannot select each flower. The transaction takes place very quickly. By about 3 am, the remaining flowers will be transported into large wholesale markets in the city.
