The atmosphere is noisy with sellers trying to advertise their products and the buyers trying to ask for a low price. Their voices and the sounds of laughing harmony together makes the scene become lively and cheerful. Everywhere covers by the smell of food and flower. How can I describe this smell so far? This is something simple but very powerful that make no one can’t stop by to look at and buy something for their family. Some people just walk around the market to contemplate the scene and enjoy a little atmosphere of Tet and there always has a smile on their faces. Next we go to a fabric store and we will attract by so many fabrics with different colors and beautiful embroidery. The scene is so bustling with those measuring the meters of fabric to cut for their customers and those who chatting with others and most of the customers are women and children.
