Many trucks selling "giant" plums on the road leading to Han Bridge (Hai Duong) are unclear about both origin and price.
Recently, on the approach road to Han Bridge through An Thuong Commune (Hai Duong City) and Hong Phong Commune (Nam Sach), there are 4-5 truck stops along the roadside selling "giant" plums. The fruit is purple, 3-4 times larger than normal plums, has yellow flesh, and is said to originate from Sa Pa. The plums are sold for 13,000 VND/tael. The seller's price listing is unclear, causing some buyers to misunderstand it as 13,000 VND/kg.
Plums in Sa Pa have been harvested since May and the season ends in early July. The quantity of peaches and plums in Lao Cai province is very small, and the appearance is not as beautiful as the products sold on the market.
