Tết in Quy Nhơn: Flower Prices, Mùng 5 Crowds, and How to Get Around
Most Tết guides tell you what to expect. This one uses prices and tips from someone who filmed it. Every detail comes from Người Quy Nhơn's Tết 2026 vlogs, with direct links to the moment in each video.
The Flower Street
Flower pots ran roughly 250-450k. The creator's tip: compare one or two stalls, make an offer, "cũng đừng ép giá nó quá" (just don't push the price down too hard) (video, 2:50).
On 25 Tết a chrysanthemum pot cost about 300k. In the evening rush, freshly arrived peach-blossom (đào) branches went for 250k each, which the creator called "giá khá là mềm" (a pretty soft price) (video, 9:59).
Photos, Áo Dài and the Horses
- The cafés on Nguyễn Thị Định stay open right through Tết, mostly for Tết photo shoots (video, 0:40).
- Young people rent áo dài or four-panel áo tứ thân for photos (video, 9:39).
- At Quảng trường Chiến Thắng, the 2026 "Mã đáo thành công" display usually has eight horses, since 8 (bát) sounds like phát, prosperity (video, 3:26).
Mùng 5: Crowds and Parking
- Around 5pm on mùng 5, the beach was packed (video, 11:16).
- After a jam the day before, cars and motorbikes were banned from parking on the road by the square (video, 0:33).
- An e-buggy collision that morning got the buggy rentals stopped (video, 7:42).
- The creator's advice: park a bit further out and walk. It's much easier (video, 2:30).
- In the evenings there's bài chòi folk singing too (video, 0:24).
Bonus: The Đoan Ngọ Noon Swim
On the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, locals bathe in the sea at noon, and nearly everyone who comes goes in (video, 2:30). In 2026 the crowd was thinner than the year before (video, 3:27).
