Spanning 250 meters across a vast 4,000-square-meter area, the vibrant Tet Flower Street in Tuy Hoa is a stunning display of floral artistry. With 70,000 flower baskets showcasing 100 different species, the street is a colorful celebration of nature’s beauty.
The exhibit features six grand displays, numerous smaller setups, and two captivating entrance installations. But it’s not just the flowers that dazzle; the street is also illuminated with 20,000 meters of LED lights and over 400 spotlights, creating a breathtaking nighttime spectacle.

One of the highlights of the flower street is the grand entrance on Dien Bien Phu Street, featuring a giant golden cobra mascot guarding precious gemstones.

The other entrance on Hung Vuong Street celebrates Tuy Hoa’s 20th anniversary with a unique design: two intertwined snake mascots gracefully forming the numbers 2005 and 2025, symbolizing the city’s journey and growth over the years.
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 adds a layer of intrigue to the floral display.
Another fascinating attraction is the snake cave display, where patterns inspired by snake scales and traditional Vietnamese brocade create a unique and captivating visual effect.

Nguyen Cong Thanh, vice-chairman of the Tuy Hoa People’s Committee, shared that the flower street project, costing VND3.9 billion (US$159,000), was made possible through joint efforts by the city and community contributions.
The golden cobra mascot, a symbol of prosperity and good fortune, stands tall at 10.8 meters, with a length of 135 meters. Meanwhile, each of the snake mascots at the Hung Vuong gate boasts a height of 12.3 meters and a length of 38 meters.
