This year, in the context of the outbreak of the epidemic, these revenues are considered to be zero, causing the owner of the lotus garden to struggle and struggle. Only counting the entrance fee to the lotus garden, lotus pond owners like Mr. Chung lose millions of dong a day because of the epidemic. 10 kiosks for renting costumes at the West Lake lotus pond are empty because there are no customers. Ms. Hoang Anh, the owner of a costume rental shop including camisole, ao dai, ba ba shirt… said that in previous years, in the lotus season, every day, customers asked to rent a camisole, every weekend they could earn it. million from this “follow-up” service. Her shop sometimes doesn’t even have enough items to rent to customers. However, this year almost no guests asked to rent anymore. On the way to the West Lake lotus garden, you can easily see street vendors selling both pink and white lotus flowers. Ms. Tuong, a seller, said that every year, at the beginning of the season, lotus flowers are expensive, selling as much as they can. Many customers buy each bunch of 10 flowers to make photo props. But this year, it’s much more sluggish, only 30,000 VND for the whole bunch and still no buyers. Street vendors filled with lotus flowers at the beginning of the season. Mai, a customer who likes to take photos of lotus, shared: “For four years now, every year I take pictures with the West Lake lotus. There are years when you have to book an appointment with a photographer, making an appointment a week before it’s your turn. This year is the season, although I am very excited and know that if I take photos at this time, I will not have to jostle and compete, but due to the epidemic, I have to comply with the regulations on distance, so I have to wait for the epidemic to end before I can take photos.” .
