This Tết (Vietnamese Lunar New Year), I wandered through the Trên Bến Dưới Thuyền flower market in District 8 – got some great afternoon photos! The name translates to “On the wharf, under the boat” reflecting its location along the waterfront and its history as a bustling market for flowers, especially during major holidays like Tết.
Then, I walked back home from District 8 to District 6, passing the busy night market behind Chợ Lớn bus station – the night vibe was perfect!
Below are a few pics of the farmers and sellers working away, bringing the festive spirit to life. Photos taken with my Nikon D40.
Showtime! Afternoon vibe
