Spring colors spread from shopping centers to brilliant cultural rendezvous points
These days, the atmosphere of "Celebrating the glorious Party - Celebrating the victorious Spring" is clearly present in every street and ward. In residential areas along the embankments of Hoang Sa, Truong Sa roads or Thanh Da peninsula, the red flag flutters next to apricot branches and peach branches showing off their colors. People joyfully hang flags and decorate miniatures, creating a space imbued with love for their homeland and national pride.
In harmony with that beat, cultural and commercial destinations also simultaneously "changed their clothes". Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House became the focus of attraction for young people with the 2026 Binh Ngo Vietnam Tet Festival opening on the afternoon of February 1. Images of the mascot horse "flying" out from giant yellow apricot blossoms and the space of Ong Do street not only honor the traditional beauty but also show the strong rising spirit of the city in the new era.
In the central area, Diamond Plaza Shopping Center continues to impress with its luxurious retro style, recreating the warm Tet space of the past. The combination of tradition and modernity at these destinations has contributed to creating a colorful spring picture, serving the healthy entertainment needs of the people.
Many symbolic works are being renovated to serve people enjoying spring.
Recently, Ho Chi Minh City has made efforts to accelerate the progress of urban embellishment, bringing a spacious and beautiful appearance to key projects serving the community.The highlight is Ben Thanh Market, a 100-year-old cultural and historical symbol that has just completed a major restoration.With a fresh red-pink tiled roof, elegant cream yellow walls and meticulously restored architectural details, the market has become a vivid proof of the harmonious development between preservation and modernization.
In parallel, the Turtle Lake area is also urgently completing the final items. Sidewalk space, green trees and walkways are being upgraded synchronously, creating favorable conditions for people to enjoy spring and sightseeing.
In particular, the park project at the Phan Dinh Phung Gymnasium land plot, Xuan Hoa ward, handed over on this occasion is of profound significance. From a wasteland, this place has "transformed" into a green "ecological forest" in the heart of the city with many sports and art facilities. This is a practical gift that the city and accompanying units give to the people, showing concern and care for the spiritual life of the people, contributing to building a civilized, modern and meaningful Ho Chi Minh City in the new spring.
