Ho Chi Minh City's Nguyen Hue Street will be decorated with flowers for the week around Lunar New Year.

Nguyen Hue Street decorated with fruits and flowers last year

HCM City authorities have announced the plan to decorate Nguyen Hue Street with flowers from February 12 to 19, 2018 to show a smart and modern city that desires to lead in the innovation process.

All traffic will be halted while the street is being decorated.

In October, the city authorities chose AGS Company's designs for the flower street and the flower festival at Tao Dan Park. According to the authorities, the designs are creative, unique and use modern technology. However, the designs for the area around Ho Chi Minh statue, the mascot and the font of the title was considered too simple and need to be reworked.

The display is organised by Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee in collaboration with Saigon Tourist Travel Firm. This is the 15th consecutive year the flower street has been organised.
