On January 22, Mr. Truong Duc Hung - General Director of Saigon Tourist Corporation (Saigontourist Group) said that the construction of Nguyen Hue Flower Street is expected to take place from January 28 to February 15 (ie, December 11 - 28 of the year At Ty).
The flower street officially opened on the evening of February 15th (December 28th of the lunar calendar) and served people and tourists until the evening of February 22nd (the 6th day of the Lunar New Year of the Horse), with a total duration of 8 days.
In particular, in order to better serve the entertainment needs of people and tourists, this year's Flower Street will extend the display time of mascots and large landscapes in the open gate and closing gate areas, until 9 pm on March 22.
For the first time in 23 years, the Binh Ngo Tet Flower Street 2026 has 2 different versions of experience between day and night in the same space, with the message "Spring gathers - Steadfastly striving".
The flower street is divided into 3 chapters: Spring Integration - Flower Brocade Roots - Steadfast Future. The area of the President Ho Chi Minh statue is decorated with the colors of Southern Tet with a yellow apricot garden from artisans of Binh Loi apricot village (Binh Loi commune).
This year's flower street is the largest flower arrangement ever with more than 100,000 flower baskets of various types.
The grand scene "Nine-horned red mao horse" is inspired by the legend of Son Tinh - Thuy Tinh, this mascot is depicted with layers of color, reaching a height of 6.4m.
The highlight of this year's Flower Street is "Nhat ma thong dong", the largest mascot of the Flower Street with a height of nearly 7m. Made from geometric bamboo material that is environmentally friendly, this giant horse mascot creates a multi-layered ecological space.
This year's flower street also has a large landscape cluster "Ly Ngua O" recreating Southern culture; the "Radiant of Memories" area has a highlight of a giant lantern more than 6m high and 6.4m in diameter.
At night, Nguyen Hue Flower Street becomes an art space thanks to the synchronous application of lighting and interactive technology.
Mapping technology first appeared at the Flower Street with images projected directly onto the surface of the unflattened mascot. The mascot at the welcome gate will tell a poetic story about the journey from the legend of Saint Giong to the development of technology and the merger of the megacity.
In particular, the grand scene at the end of "Giang Son Cam Tu" is lit by a static lighting system and does not have mechanical movement elements, but the structure of the mascot when combined with outdoor light creates a feeling of movement.
Giang Son Cam Tu" gathers 9 eternal horses galloping, of which 3 main horses represent Ho Chi Minh City, Vung Tau and Binh Duong with a monolithic shape. 6 small horses represent the aspects of the city shaped with a multi-layered structure, creating a layered effect, moving on the street of light.
Through AR technology (enhanced virtual reality), visitors can directly see images of horses galloping right at the welcome gate via phone.
