Giant chickens, a lake of lights and thousands of flowers will welcome the Lunar New Year from January 25-31.
A day before opening, Nguyen Hue walking street in Vietnam’s largest city has been covered in vivid flowers. |
“Spring in the city named after President Ho Chi Minh” features a couple of giant chickens and many chicks to symbolize the Year of the Rooster. |
”Modern-civilized city” features models of iconic buildings like the city’s People’s Committee HQ, Ben Thanh Market and Phu My Bridge. |
“Glorious inspiration” has an 18-meter lake of lights. |
A typical scene of Vietnam’s rural regions. |
A day before the opening, hundreds of workers are still working day and night to finish the flower street. “This is the 3rd year I’ve worked on decorating the street,” said worker Nguyen Luu Ly. “I find it quite beautiful.” |
