At 2 a.m., when sleep is still falling on the streets of Hanoi, it is also the time when flowers from all over flock to Quang Ba night market.
Noisy and busy, flower sellers gather at this wholesale flower market to sell fresh flower products. From the top of the dike, looking down at the market, close to the flower stalls. The whole market is illuminated by street lights at dim times. People use flashlights to buy flowers and choose flowers. The selected flowers, which are of sufficient size and bud size, are cut up from the afternoon, carefully wrapped and brought to the wholesale market. From 4 a.m. is the time for shoppers, flower bearers, people visiting the flower market or flower shop owners. Flowers have been bought wholesale by the market, at a much higher price than the previous market. The street vendor chooses flowers for his flower carts, carefully choosing the most satisfactory flowers.

When the first sun shines all over the space, it is also the time when beautiful flower petals are present in all the caves and alleys in Ha Thanh. The city wakes up amazed by the beauty of flowers. In the early morning smiles, flowers adorn the autumn colors more radiantly From the market to the intersection of the east street, to the corner of the street....the flower cars quietly bring the season to the street, bringing the flavor to life.
Behind the saddle of the bicycle filtering piles are the flowers of the season. Violets are delicate in the spring rain, the scent of bewildering grapefruit, the arrogant lilies, the gentle pink lotus, the radiant chrysanthemums, the pink billions of petals in the thin wings, the yellow chrysanthemums racing in the autumn sun, the peach branches blooming in spring, the purple heart lily reminiscent of love, the calm and calm heather. All of them are just flowers planted in these flower gardens around Hanoi, the flowers that Hanoi people still encounter every day, very familiar and strangely emotional.
In the midst of the noise and dust of the streets, the flower bicycles still keep their peaceful and poetic appearance intact. Bicycles full of flowers spread to the city streets in the early morning, past the old men exercising early on the windy West Lake, past the rows of morning gifts rushing to clean up.

The flower trucks that have been present on the street have never been clear but have become a familiar image to Ha Thanh people. Modern life, the roads are expanded, the traffic is busy, the houses are crowded with boxes, the wheels are in a hurry. In the endless flow of a day, somewhere there are moments of calm and quiet, making us stop and look for a while. A load of colorful flowers stood nestled on the sidewalk on the street corner. Just a little, but enough to make us feel loved, remembered and loved.
For four seasons, Hanoi people are excited with flowers, floating in the radiant colors. Every month passes, Hanoi people realize that they are walking in the midst of the sweet fragrance of all colors of flowers. You may not realize the flower season until you suddenly see it blooming on every street, but for people who travel far from Hanoi, they suddenly forget the flower season.
