During the festival, famous traditional flower villages, including Van Thanh, Thai Phien and Ha Dong, were open for visitors to see gorgeous flower fields.
Major flower producers in the city, such as Da Lat Hasfarm and Da Lat Forest Flower Company, launched special flower art performances at the event to promote the industry.
Visitors to the festival were stunned by the amazing beauty of the gardens and fields of flowers showing off their striking colors and fragrance in the sunshine and cool weather of Da Lat’s end of winter. Fresh flowers were everywhere, from homes to streets, on balconies and windows, around romantic Xuan Huong lake and Da Lat downtown. Flowers created an atmosphere of love and romance for the city.
Flowers have not only created a unique beauty for Da Lat but have also made it a charming tourist destination and a major flower exporter in Southeast Asia.
