Located some 150km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Sa Dec is the largest supplier of flowers to southern provinces.
It has some 2,000 households who chiefly earn a living by growing and selling flowers and ornamental trees.
Tourists should drop by the village by the 20th of the lunar year’s last month, which falls on February 5 this year, when flowers are trucked or loaded onto boats to flower markets in HCM City and other parts of the country.
