Stretching 310 meters, the flower street features 30 miniatures created from 50,000 pots of fresh flowers, mainly supplied by local growers.
The main entrance showcases a striking model of three galloping horses symbolizing strong development, alongside large apricot blossom trees and traditional cultural motifs.
At the side gate, the image of Phu Dong Thien Vuong (Saint Giong) riding his horse evokes the spirit of self-reliance and national pride.

The space is divided into three sections. The first recreates traditional Tet values through models such as the “Homeland Apricot Blossom Garden,” displays of Tet cakes and fruits, and statues symbolizing Blessings, Prosperity, and Longevity.
The second section highlights national unity among the Kinh, Khmer, and Hoa ethnic groups, alongside miniatures of southern-style wooden bridges, flower-laden boats, and waterways.
The third section features a night-time performance stage integrated with models depicting technological innovation, AI applications, the future riverside city of Can Tho, and the iconic image of two carp leaping over the dragon gate.
The flower street will remain open to visitors until February 21, the fifth day of the first lunar month.
