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

The exhibit 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 creative use of eco-friendly materials. The street is constructed with 60 metric tons of steel, bamboo, and rattan, seamlessly blending durability and sustainability. And when night falls, the street truly comes alive with 20,000 meters of LED lights and over 400 spotlights, creating a dazzling spectacle.

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 treasures of Phu Yen. This majestic creation, adorned with LED lights, is a true work of art.

Surrounding the cobra are replicas of the iconic Nghinh Phong Tower, further enhancing the sense of place and cultural significance.

The other entrance on Hung Vuong Street holds its own charm, featuring two intertwined snake mascots gracefully forming the numbers 2005 and 2025, commemorating Tuy Hoa’s journey. This elegant display is a celebration of the city’s past, present, and future.

As visitors wander through the flower street, they will discover a stunning centerpiece—a snake mascot cradling an Internet globe, surrounded by AI-inspired installations. This modern twist adds a layer of intrigue to the floral display.

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

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