Nguyen Ngoc Thuan, 43, is receiving thousands of visitors to his Ha Den grape garden in Chau Thanh District every day. The farmer allows people to visit his farm and take photos free of charge because he earns well from selling the fruits.

Thuan shared that he started to grow grapes in his 1,000-square-metre plot over a year ago and they are giving lots of fruits.
"Grapes aren’t usually grown in my area due to unfavourable weather," the farmer said. "But I tried planting them in my garden and they have grown well after lots of care and effort."
When the grapes bore fruit, the farmer shared photos of his plot on some social media sites and it soon attracted curious visitors.
"I decided to let visitors come and see my garden," he said. "I'm also willing to share some gardening tips and skills with them. They all like the scenery and enjoy the fruit. And many of them shared photos of their visits so I'm having more visitors and selling lots of fruit."

Thuan said that at present he is receiving some 1,000 visitors to his garden a day.
"I invested VND200 million (USD8,695) in the plot and now I've earned VND100 million after just five days opening to visitors," he said.
