There's still more than a month until the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026, but in Ta Phin commune – known as one of the "peach blossom capitals" of Lao Cai – the spring atmosphere has already begun to permeate.

In the early days of 2026, many gardens in Ta Phin commune appeared like a watercolor painting with the vibrant pink color of peach blossoms. Although there is still more than a month until the Lunar New Year of the Year of the Horse, nature seems to be favoring this place by awakening many peach blossom trees to bloom early amidst the misty fog.
The unique feature of Ta Phin peach blossoms is the intermingling of fully bloomed flowers with countless tiny buds. With their vigorous growth, vibrant colors, and thick petals, these peach trees can bloom until the end of January without wilting. Therefore, connoisseurs always seek out Ta Phin peach blossoms every Tet holiday. The gnarled, moss-covered trunks of these peach trees add significant aesthetic value to each one. According to locals, depending on the shape, age, and moss cover, each peach tree in the garden is priced from 1 million to 10 million VND. Although the number of visitors isn't too high at this time, early-blooming peach blossom trees are fetching high prices. Peach growers are busy tending to their trees, potting the most beautiful ones, and preparing them for transport to the lowlands.
Customers buying peach blossom trees at this time are mainly businesses, restaurants, or families who want to prepare early for Tet celebrations and year-end events. For the people here, peach blossoms are not only a symbol of spring but also the main source of income that helps them have a prosperous Lunar New Year.
The pink hues of Ta Phin peach blossoms serve as an invitation for tourists and traders to visit, bringing with them the hope of a prosperous and brilliant harvest for the Lunar New Year of the Horse 2026.
