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 boasts 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 abundance of flowers, but also its innovative construction. Using 60 metric tons of steel and eco-friendly materials like bamboo and rattan, the street comes alive with illumination. Over 20,000 meters of LED lights and more than 400 spotlights create a mesmerizing nighttime spectacle, as shared by the city’s administration.

One of the highlights 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 stunning display is surrounded by replicas of the iconic Nghinh Phong Tower, enhancing the entrance’s grandeur and cultural significance.

The other entrance on Hung Vuong Street holds a special significance, celebrating Tuy Hoa’s 20th anniversary. Here, two elegant snake mascots intertwine to form the numbers 2005 and 2025, marking the city’s journey and progress 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 innovation to the traditional floral display.

Another captivating attraction is the snake cave display, where patterns inspired by snake scales and traditional Vietnamese brocade create a unique and intriguing atmosphere.

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 joint efforts by the city and community contributions.

The golden cobra mascot at the Dien Bien Phu gate, with its impressive height of 10.8 meters and length of 135 meters, is a true masterpiece. Similarly, each of the snake mascots at the Hung Vuong gate stands at 12.3 meters tall and stretches to a length of 38 meters, creating a striking visual impact.

“The flower street is a feast for the senses,” exclaimed Do Kieu Oanh, a local resident. “The golden cobra mascot, adorned with LED lights, is absolutely mesmerizing. It has become the perfect backdrop for our Tet photos, and I’m sure it will leave lasting memories for all who visit.”
