Nguyen Hue Flower Street before the opening day

HO CHI MINH CITY One day before the opening ceremony, the miniatures of Nguyen Hue flower street were basically completed to welcome guests on the evening of 28 Tet.

After nearly half a month of construction, Nguyen Hue Tet Tan Suu 2021 flower street has basically been completed to open in time on February 9 (ie 28 Tet).

The 18th year flower street with the theme of Ho Chi Minh City: Civilization – Modern – Meaningful , is expected to contribute to promoting the image and pioneering position of the city before the new opportunity.

The flower road is 720 m long, the main entrance is behind the fountain in front of the City People’s Committee to the intersection with Ton Duc Thang Street (District 1). The content is divided into 2 chapters: The Way to Converge Identity and The Path to the Future , with 13 different large and small scenes.

Right at the entrance is a model of a family of buffaloes placed at the entrance gate, on their backs are fellow shepherds flying kites, stopping flutes. Particularly, a buffalo is fitted with a motor that can shake its head to welcome visitors.

Instead of being shaped like the mascots of the previous year, this year’s buffalo mascot is designed in a new language that is more about design and architecture, with more than 60 models spread across the pedestrian street.

In the middle of the flower road stands out with the great scene of the season of buffalo wool, the cultural features of the Southern Delta erect the space of bridges and water, bringing both modern colors and preserving the traditional features of the village.

Great harvest of bumper crop recreates the peaceful countryside scene with rice fields and blooming flower gardens. Throughout the flower street, the buffalo mascot almost always appears in pairs, in herds, hiding warm, intimate feelings.

A picture of Dong Ho entitled “A blanket of buffaloes blowing flute” is hung in a small scene. Above is a model of bamboo kites flying high in the sky.

High-tech garden landscape with fruits such as cherry tomatoes, melons, orchids … are planted under the new model for higher productivity.

The flower road is mainly using organic materials (organic design & architecture), conveying a green message, an environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Before the opening time, more than 100 workers were busy decorating flowers in the landscape, connected to the electrical system, cleaning the toilet … This year, the flower street used more than 100,000 flower pots, mainly imported from Dong Thap, Lam. Dong and HCMC.

Mr. Luan watered the flower pots after they were neatly arranged in each landscape. “This is the eighth year I have been involved in the construction of the flower road. Every year, the road brings a different theme, so every time I still find it interesting because it contributes to bringing spring air to everyone,” he said.

The Great City of Smart City at the end of the flower street is designed with the concept of an open gate to the future with the image of rice cotton shaped by a metal frame.

This year’s flower street will be open to serve the needs of the people and visitors from 19:00 on February 9 to 21:00 on February 15, 2021 (from December 28 to Lunar New Year 4).
