Spanning 250 meters across a vast 4,000-square-meter area, the breathtaking Tet Flower Street in Tuy Hoa city is a sight to behold. For the upcoming 2025 Tet celebrations, the street boasts an impressive 70,000 flower baskets, showcasing a diverse range of 100 floral species.

The vibrant exhibition is a feast for the eyes, with six grand displays, numerous smaller setups, and two captivating entrance installations that are sure to awe visitors.

What makes this flower street unique is its construction. Using 60 metric tons of steel and eco-friendly materials like bamboo and rattan, the street truly comes alive at night with 20,000 meters of LED lights and over 400 spotlights, as per the city administration.
