Flower shops in the city center were built in late 1941 by Luciani - the city's Mayor who was responsible for designing and the Chief of Civil - Gochie for designing fine arts. Each flower shop is supported by 4 round wooden pillars and has a curved roof made of corbicula-shaped tiles harmoniously combining the Western and Eastern architecture styles.
They are considered as the harmony among scenery of urban architectures. Each shop is 20m2 large, about 4m high and 6m distance from each other. All shops are located on an area of 300m2. Recently, a new road has been built at the back of the shops making the scenery more beautiful and convenient for sellers and buyers. Hai Phong Flower Shops have been the inspiration of painters, photographers for their art works of the city.
