Autumn on the flower stalls

Colorful flower carts are no longer a "specialty" of Hanoi. Now, visitors to Ninh Binh can easily see flower carts "carrying the whole autumn" like this at many tourist destinations or different localities.

In recent days, the trend of taking photos with flower carriages has become a hot topic on many social media platforms. Grasping this psychology, many people have boldly brought the idea of carrying flower baskets - a characteristic of Hanoi autumn - to the ancient capital.

Ms. Pham Ut, Hamlet 2, Yen Loc Commune, Kim Son District said: "I saw my friends traveling to Hanoi to take pictures with a flower car, so I thought why don't I make one like that in my hometown. I am a person who loves flowers and my family has a flower shop, so I quickly realized this idea."

To design the flower cars, Ms. Ut had to use more than 20 different types of flowers such as lotus, chrysanthemum, rose, sunflower, bird of paradise,... Under the skillful hands of the 9x flower shop owner, 2 flower cars were born, as beautiful as those in Hanoi.

"The hardest part is how to mix colors to make it look beautiful while still ensuring the bike is sturdy enough to not fall over. Luckily, I'm an expert so this isn't too difficult," said Ms. Ut.

According to Ms. Ut, right after appearing on the street, her "autumn-carrying" car attracted a lot of tourists and young people to check in. On the first day, her two flower stalls welcomed more than 100 customers.

According to Ms. Minh Hue, Phat Diem town, Kim Son district, after one day of "launching", her flower car also exceeded expectations when welcoming hundreds of visitors to take pictures and admire. "I placed the car near Ngoi bridge. This is an ideal place for tourists to both visit and take pictures. The decorative flowers I used are imported flowers and Da Lat flowers, so the colors are fresh and the size is large."

In addition, flower stalls also appear prominently in Hoa Lu Ancient Town and attract many tourists to admire and take photos. Here, there are 3 flower carts placed at different locations, attracting everyone's attention.

Ms. Dinh Thi Quynh Anh, Khe Ha village, Ninh Xuan commune, Hoa Lu district shared: "I use my family's bicycle. I import flowers from wholesale markets so they are quite cheap. With a capital of about 2-3 million, I can have a beautiful flower cart with full colors. If well maintained, the flower cart can stay fresh for about 4-5 days."

Ms. Quynh Anh added that in addition to implementing the general regulations of the Hoa Lu Ancient Town Management Board, she also enthusiastically supports taking photos, providing props such as fresh flowers and straw bags so that visitors can have the most beautiful photos.

According to records, the flower cars here attract a lot of tourists. People even have to wait in line to take virtual photos with the colorful flowers.

With a ticket price of 30,000 VND/person, many flower car owners also pocket millions of VND per day. Some people said that with such a good initial effect, they will maintain the flower car through the National Day holiday on September 2nd or even longer to serve tourists.

In addition to Hoa Lu Ancient Town, beautiful flower cars are also present at Hang Mua Tourist Area or in some other localities such as Yen Khanh, Yen Mo. All of them have made the streets and villages more romantic and fresh.

Flower carts on the streets are not unfamiliar to Ninh Binh people. Because in the past, at places such as the foot of Cha La bridge, the flower area near Rong market, ... people sometimes still saw bicycles carrying some types of flowers of the ladies and gentlemen of Ninh Phuc and Ninh Son flower villages. However, the number of flowers was quite small with some simple flowers such as yellow chrysanthemums, white chrysanthemums, roses, cockscombs ...

The fresh appearance of flower cars, typical of Hanoi autumn, has brought attractive colors to the ancient capital. Under the gentle sunlight, the flower cars make Ninh Binh autumn even more romantic, attracting tourists.
