Themed “Ho Chi Minh City - Confidently Stepping Forward”, the Flower Street features 130 of the rat mascots, which represent the Lunar New Year of the Rat 2020 and runs along the 720-meter promenade. Truong Thi Quyen, a visitor from Dak Lak, said: “I ‘ve come to this place for the second time. It’s lively, busy, and crowded. The flowers are much more beautiful than last year.”

For the past 17 years, Nguyen Hue Flower Street has been a rendezvous for residents and tourists to enjoy the Tet holiday, and it is often voted among the top 100 things to do in Ho Chi Minh City.
