The fee to take photos in these fields is VND25,000 ($1.1) per person. Then the flowers are sent for sale, either on the streets or at flower markets in Hanoi.

“My family grows more than 30,000 plants over 1,000 square meters (10,763 square feet). We have to harvest the flowers quickly in the early morning because they will bloom under the sun,” said a farmer named Hanh.
