Spring’s Splendor: Vietnam’s Phu Yen Tet Flower Street Captivates Crowds

Spanning 250 meters across a vast 4,000-square-meter space, Tuy Hoa’s 2025 Tet Flower Street is a breathtaking display of floral artistry. With 70,000 flower baskets showcasing 100 diverse species, the street is transformed into a vibrant and fragrant celebration of nature’s beauty.

The exhibition features six grand displays, numerous smaller setups, and two captivating entrance installations that are sure to awe visitors.

What makes this flower street unique is not just the sheer number of flowers but also the innovative use of eco-friendly materials. The street is constructed with 60 metric tons of steel, bamboo, and rattan, creating a sustainable and visually appealing foundation. And when night falls, the street truly comes alive with 20,000 meters of LED lights and over 400 spotlights, illuminating the flowers and installations in a dazzling display of color and light.

One of the most striking features of the flower street is the grand entrance on Dien Bien Phu Street, where a giant golden cobra mascot greets visitors. Standing tall at 10.8 meters, the cobra guards precious gemstones, symbolizing the natural riches of Phu Yen. This majestic creation, adorned with countless LED lights, is a mesmerizing sight and the perfect backdrop for festive photos.

Surrounding the cobra are replicas of the iconic Nghinh Phong Tower, further enhancing the entrance’s visual appeal and paying homage to Tuy Hoa’s tourism landmarks.

The other entrance on Hung Vuong Street holds its own charm, featuring two elegantly intertwined snake mascots. These mascots not only symbolize the city’s journey from 2005 to 2025 but also add a unique and creative touch to the celebration.

As visitors wander through the flower street, they will discover a captivating centerpiece—a snake mascot cradling an Internet globe, surrounded by AI-inspired installations. This modern twist on traditional floral displays showcases the fusion of nature and technology, creating a unique and contemporary aesthetic.

Another highlight of the street is the snake cave display, where patterns inspired by snake scales and traditional Vietnamese brocade create a captivating and culturally rich visual experience.

Nguyen Cong Thanh, vice-chairman of the Tuy Hoa People’s Committee, shared that the VND3.9-billion (US$159,000) flower street project was made possible through the joint efforts of the city and community contributions. It is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of the people of Tuy Hoa.

The golden cobra mascot at the Dien Bien Phu gate, with its impressive height of 135 meters and length of 10.8 meters, is a true engineering marvel. Meanwhile, each of the snake mascots at the Hung Vuong gate stands tall at 12.3 meters and stretches to a length of 38 meters, creating a grand and memorable entrance.

“The flower street is absolutely stunning,” exclaimed Do Kieu Oanh, a local resident. “The golden cobra mascot, illuminated by LED lights, takes your breath away. It’s the perfect spot to capture memorable Tet moments with family and friends.”
