Traditional Tet of Ho Chi Minh City
Since its first time taken place in 2004, Nguyen Hue Flower Street and Tet Cake Festival, organized by Saigontourist Holding Company and some other related departments under the instruction of Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, has met the demand of the Saigonese for a meaningful, eventful and traditional Tet of the nation. This year is the ninth consecutive year of this special event. Year by year, the event has always been upgraded and diversified to make it more professional and monumental to mark the approach of a new year for not only the local people but also the foreign tourists.
Main activities:
“Heading to Saigon to see the lights”, that is the popular words of the Saigonese for every time they want to go out in the evening since 2007, when the street lighting has become a part of the Tet festival programs. Before and during the Tet festival, some main streets in the downtown are decorated with flowers and lighted colorfully. This year, every local people as well as the foreign tourists will see a number of different kinds of flowers. Besides, LED lights are attached to make it interesting and lovely. Looking at the decoration from a far distance, a picture of a flying dragon is approaching. Differently, on Nguyen Hue street, people could see four green gates symbolizing our green planet and the six continents we are living on. A completely various style of decoration is designed for Le Duan Street. White and Blue led lights are used to create a picture of the galaxy. Specifically, at the roundabout of Le Duan and Pham Ngoc Thach Street, a big ball surrounded by blue Led lights, pictures of people holding hands together as well as a couple of pigeons reminds us of a peaceful earth we need to protect.
