In addition to offering a variety of flowers, the market is renowned for its affordable costs. Coming to Quang Ba Flower Market, you may easily purchase your preferred flowers at a lower cost than in other businesses or flower bikes on the streets of Hanoi.

History of Quang Ba Flower Market

Historically, the Quang Ba (or Quang An) flower market was spontaneously created at the intersection of Xuan Dieu and Au Co Streets in response to the self-sufficient demands of flower-growing villages in the Tay Ho and Tu Liem regions. However, following the 1996 formation of Tay Ho District, it was relocated to its current position. Since this shift, the market has undergone significant expansion, quickly becoming one of the major night flower markets in northern Vietnam.

Today, the Quang Ba market not only sells local flowers, but also imports. The exotic flowers are sourced from numerous locations, ranging from domestic provinces (Vinh Phuc, Da Lat, etc.) to overseas regions (China, Thailand, Netherlands, South Africa,..). Each season and region has its own flowers; hence, the flowers offered at the Quang Ba Flower Market are seasonal and abundant.

Best time to visit Quang Ba Flower Market

The market meeting typically runs from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following day, but the busiest hours are between 1 and 3 a.m. The market is still lively during the day, although far fewer people are there. Typically, after 12 a.m., the merchants who come here to purchase flowers for the following day are the most numerous.

Therefore, the best time to visit the Quang Ba Flower Market is between 1-3 a.m., when the city is falling asleep and the market is bursting with flower hues. As the sun has not yet risen, this is also a good moment for you to learn more about laborers’ livelihoods. But if you want to see a colorful flower market, choose your favorite flowers, and take beautiful check-in photos, you should arrive at Quang Ba Flower Market before 12 a.m., when the market is not yet crowded and the flowers are still fresh and beautiful because they have just been displayed on the stalls.
