Coming to Tay Tuu these days, people can see images of unharvested fresh flowers everywhere. They stay unattended on the fields, or arranged in bunches, or discarded like trash on the roadside.
Dead and dried flowers stacked high up on the side of the road. Flower growing fields are left dried up, unattended. Scenes like this are happening in many flower growing areas of Hanoi like Tay Tuu, North Tu Liem or Tan Lap, Dan Phuong.
Tay Tuu village, the largest flower growing area in Hanoi, is a must-see for tourists before Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday with countless flowers all in full bloom.
After nearly 100 years, Tay Tuu was recognised as a traditional craft village of Ha Noi. The best time to visit the flower village is the 11th month and the 12th month of the lunar calendar.
More than 100 ha of farming land in Ha Mo commune, Hanoi’s Dan Phuong district have been repurposed to grow lilies during winter instead of conventional crops like corn or beans.
Farmers of the Tay Tuu flower village, about 15 km from downtown Hanoi are working hard in the flower fields to timely meet the capital city’s needs as Tet is very near.
