Nhật Tân peach branches are quite reasonably priced, from VNĐ100,000 (US$4.4) to 500,000 depending on size. They are the first choice of many customers because of their low cost and space-saving when displayed at home.

Potted peach trees often require more sophisticated care and cost from a few million to several tens of millions of đồng per tree.

In recent years, many companies and offices often rent giant peach trees to decorate the lobby of their buildings. These trees have rental prices ranging from VNĐ5 million to 20 million. At the end of Tết holiday, peach growers come to pick up the trees to continue renting the following year.

Besides business, Nhật Tân village also offers free entry for visitors to visit and take photos.

In the midst of the chaos of life, watching the peach blossoms, enjoying the wonderful scenery of Nhật Tân, will definitely be an unforgettable experience for any visitor. — VNS
