Exploring Dong Thap - Tan Qui Dong The town of flowers

Exploring Dong Thap - Tan Qui Dong The town of flowers

Today, I am going to post the information about Tan Qui Dong village which is known as the village of flowers. Located about 150km from HCM, not far from HCMC but It seems a hidden spot that not many people know about it, and there are no tourists have introduced to travellers. It's worth visitng for travellers who interested in photography or exploring new thing in Mekong delta.
For more than 100 years, Sa Dec has been known all over the country for the cultivation of flowers and ornamental plants. Sa Dec flowers and plants have been provided to all parts of the country and exported to many foreign markets. Tan Qui Dong, where has over 1,500 house holds who are engaged in growing flowers and omanmental plants of more than 1,000 varieties, creating a unique colourful feature of the town by the Tien River. Every year, Sa Dec floricultural area provides over two million baskets of ornamental plants, of which 40-50% are roses, daisies, dahlias and Mang dinh hong.
How to get there : Take a Mai Linh bus at Mai Linh office which is located on Le Hong Phong district 10 or Ben Xe Mien Tay ( Mien tay bus station); It takes about 5 hours to get to Sa Dec.  Best time to visit this town would be in spring when people busy working with their flowers before exporting to other parts.
