Ho Thi Ky Flower Market, flower marketplace in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Ho Thi Ky Flower Market is a flower market in District 10 of Ho Chi Minh City, where a wide range of cut flowers is sold every day. The stalls line a long covered alley, with roses, orchids, chrysanthemums, and sunflowers arranged in bunches on tables and on the ground.
The market was founded in 1987 and grew from a small trading spot into one of the city's main flower centers. As Ho Chi Minh City expanded, demand for flowers rose and more vendors settled along the alley.
The market is closely tied to Vietnamese customs, as flowers are central to weddings, funerals, and temple offerings. Walking through the stalls, visitors can see vendors assembling arrangements for specific occasions, which shows how much flowers are part of daily life here.
The market is open around the clock, but the freshest deliveries arrive in the early morning hours, when the widest choice is available. It is easy to reach by motorbike or taxi, and parking is available close by.
Alongside the flower stalls, a food section serves Cambodian sweets and snacks and draws a steady crowd, especially in the evening. This mix of flowers and street food in the same space makes a visit here feel different from a typical flower market.
