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 features six grand displays, numerous smaller setups, and two captivating entrance installations that are sure to awe visitors.

What truly sets this flower street apart is its innovative construction. Built with 60 metric tons of steel and eco-friendly materials like bamboo and rattan, the street comes alive at night with a dazzling display of lights. Adorned with 20,000 meters of LED lights and over 400 spotlights, it offers a mesmerizing spectacle, as confirmed by the city’s administration.

The grand entrance on Dien Bien Phu Street welcomes visitors with a stunning sight: a giant golden cobra mascot guarding precious gemstones, symbolizing the natural treasures of Phu Yen. This cobra, surrounded by replicas of the iconic Nghinh Phong Tower, stands tall and elegant, setting the tone for the entire exhibition.

The other entrance, located on Hung Vuong Street, celebrates Tuy Hoa’s 20th anniversary with a unique design. Two intertwined snake mascots gracefully form the numbers 2005 and 2025, representing 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.

One of the highlights of the exhibition is the snake cave display, featuring patterns inspired by snake scales and traditional Vietnamese brocade. It creates a unique and captivating visual effect.

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 stands tall at 10.8 meters, with a length of 135 meters, while the snake mascots at the Hung Vuong gate measure 12.3 meters in height and 38 meters in length each—truly impressive structures.

“Tuy Hoa’s Tet Flower Street never fails to amaze,” exclaimed Do Kieu Oanh, a local resident. “The golden cobra mascot, illuminated by countless LED lights, takes your breath away. It’s the perfect spot to capture memorable Tet photos.”
