About the Place

What you need to know

The history of floriculture in Sa Dec began in the early 20th century. One of the main highlights is the unique cultivation technique: due to the risk of flooding, farmers place flower beds on raised bamboo or concrete platforms above the water. You can see farmers moving between the flowers on narrow boats, making this an ideal spot for atmospheric photographs. Over 2,000 plant species are grown here, including rare varieties of roses, chrysanthemums, orchids, and bonsai.
