The annual event, themed "Khat vong vuon xa” (aspiration for further
development), aims to present a city of development and integration, yet
preserving its traditional culture.
The 720 metre-long flower street will be decorated with different flowers
following three sub-themes of the spring in the city, integration and
development, and looking forward to the future.
Meanwhile, the area around the statue of late President Ho Chi Minh will be
covered with yellow apricot (a typical flower during Tet in the south) and
peach (a typical flower during Tet in the north).
Imitations of domestic dogs will be on display at the welcome gate as sacred
animals in the Year of the Dog, while real visual photo-shooting technology
will serve visitors.
This is the 15th version of the flower street to celebrate the traditional
Lunar New Year in the city.
