Food market bustling for God Festival
In 2025, the 15th day of the August according to the lunar calendar
falls on Saturday, September 6th of the solar calendar. However, many
families will take advantage of the extended holiday to worship the spirits on
the occasion of the god festival.
The food market these days is therefore
bustling with a variety of food.
These days, the market for food, green vegetables, fresh fruits, votive
paper... is very exciting. A survey of the traditional market system shows that
although purchasing power has increased, prices of fresh food items such as pork,
beef and seafood have been maintained. While food prices remain stable, green
vegetables for offerings tend to increase slightly compared to normal days. In
addition to fresh food, the market for vegetarian food and processed food is also
quite bustling. The demand for shopping for the god festival has increased.
However, some small traders sell items on the sidewalks, making the streets
become chaotic, easily causing accidents and affecting traffic participants.
