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

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, 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 treasures of Phu Yen. The cobra is surrounded by replicas of the iconic Nghinh Phong Tower, enhancing the sense of grandeur and cultural significance.

The other entrance on Hung Vuong Street holds its own unique charm, featuring two intertwined snake mascots gracefully forming the numbers 2005 and 2025, commemorating Tuy Hoa’s journey. Celebrating the city’s 20th anniversary, this entrance serves as a symbolic gateway to the floral extravaganza.

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

One of the highlights of the street is the snake cave display, where patterns inspired by snake scales and traditional Vietnamese brocade create a mesmerizing visual effect. It is a unique fusion of nature and culture, captivating visitors of all ages.

Nguyen Cong Thanh, vice-chairman of the Tuy Hoa People’s Committee, shared that the VND3.9-billion (US$159,000) 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, standing tall at the Dien Bien Phu gate, is an iconic symbol of the flower street. With its impressive height of 135 meters and adorned with countless LED lights, it creates a mesmerizing sight that captivates both locals and visitors alike.

“The flower street is absolutely stunning,” exclaimed Do Kieu Oanh, a Tuy Hoa resident. “The golden cobra, illuminated by the LED lights, is truly a work of art. It has become the perfect backdrop for our Tet celebrations and memories.”
