A ceremony will be held at Sacom Resort on the peninsula of the Tuyen Lam Lake
at 8:30 am on January 27 to kick off the festival and to announce the
recognition of Tuyen Lam National Resort and Da Lat city as ASEAN
Environmentally Sustainable City.
A variety of event will take place not only at the Tuyen Lam National Resort
but across the city during the three-day festival, including art performances,
musical fountain shows, a golf tournament, a Gong music night and an exhibition
of classic cars.
The festival aims to promote a local cherry-like apricot – Mai Anh Dao – known
as the city’s floral emblem. The flower blooms in pink in the first months of
the year to welcome the spring. The trees mostly grow in Da Lat city and
forests in Lac Duong district.
"I have never seen cherry blossom as beautiful as this year. The flowers
started to bloom at the beginning of January and in such a cool weather, they
will last until early February,” said Nguyen Xuan Thanh, Director of the Tuyen
Lam National Resort and head of the festival organising board.
Da Lat won the ASEAN Environmentally Sustainable City at the ASEAN
Environmental Award in Brunei in July last year.
