Nguyen Hue Flower Street will be officially opened at 7 pm today, February 13, to welcome the Lunar New Year.

The two-week preparations have transformed Nguyen Hue Street’s appearance.

The flower street stretches 720 metres with statues of dogs inspired by the Phu Quoc Ridgeback dog to mark the Year of Dog. The area has a playground designed for children and scenes of the Vietnamese countryside are also featured on the street.

According to the organising board, Nguyen Hue Flower Street will last until 10 pm on February 19.
