This is the last of my series documenting the Vietnamese New Year. This time it’s on the Nguyen Hue Flower Street Festival, or ‘Duong Hoa Nguyen Hue’ in Vietnamese. The Nguyen Hue Flower Street Festival is an annual event in Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon, where the whole of Nguyen Hue Street, in the heart of the city central, will be closed. For about a week, this street will be filled with diverse colors of flowers and the Lunar New Year decorations. Mixing with the sweet melodies of traditional music and folk songs, it gives the Vietnamese and tourists alike a chance to indulge in nature and to soak up the festive mood.
2010, according to the lunar calendar, is the year of the Tiger. So let’s start this article with some of the different types of tigers found at the Nguyen Hue Flower Street Festival.

And naturally, nobody’s gonna miss taking a shot at an event like this.

Wow, how insightful. I’ve never been to the country of my parents but I do often wonder what life would have been like if my parents had never left war-torn VN some 30 odd years ago. Thanks for the virtual tour
Thank you Thu for dropping a note here. Return, do a tour of Vietnam and see for yourself
