What you need to know
Quang Ba market is where tradition meets large-scale wholesale trade. Flowers flock here from the surrounding villages of Tay Tuu, Me Linh, and Dong Anh, as well as from distant highlands like Dalat and Moc Chau.
At night, while Hanoi sleeps, the market lights up brightly, illuminating endless rows of sunflowers, asters, and hydrangeas. The market has no gates or signs — motorcycles loaded with floral arrangements serve as landmarks. The atmosphere becomes especially intense ahead of holidays like Tet or Vietnamese Women's Day, when the assortment is replenished with rare peach branches and kumquats.
The market operates year-round, though peak activity occurs during the nighttime hours. Visiting right before Vietnamese holidays (Tet, October 20th) is especially interesting.
