This is the last of my series documenting the Vietnamese New Year. This time it’s on the Nguyen Hue Flower Street Festival, or ‘Duong Hoa Nguyen Hue’ in Vietnamese. The Nguyen Hue Flower Street Festival is an annual event in Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon, where the whole of Nguyen Hue Street, in the heart of the city central, will be closed. For about a week, this street will be filled with diverse colors of flowers and the Lunar New Year decorations. Mixing with the sweet melodies of traditional music and folk songs, it gives the Vietnamese and tourists alike a chance to indulge in nature and to soak up the festive mood…

Tao Dan Cultral Park is another popular spot the Saigonese (people living in Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City) go to during the Vietnamese New Year. Although it is officially called ‘Tao Dan Park Flower Festival’, there are many other activities taking place like a fun fair for the kids, food fair for the adults, stage performances, etc. Good place to go to catch the festive atmosphere for the Vietnamese New Year…
