Young people are flocking to see and take photos among the early peach blossoms in Hanoi's Nhat Tan Ward in the run-up to Tet.
The crowds taking advantage of the fine weather are causing traffic jams lasting hours on the road leading to the gardens.
One peach tree grower said thousands of people a day are visiting her blossoms in recent days, and paying ticket prices of VND20,000-30,000 for the privilege.
The blossoms have proven a particularly popular setting for wedding photos.
Parking is at a premium, with charges for motorbikes at VND10.000 and cars VND50.000
Food stalls have sprung up throughout the gardens, lending a festive family atmosphere to the outing.
