The Hanoi Flower Festival of 2010 has gathered much more extraordinary types of flowers than in past years.
The striking flower festival around Hoan Kiem Lake is a celebration of the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi. It will be held from December 30, 2009 to January 3, 2010.
The event will help to bring international fellows with images of old and new Hanoi to a better understanding about the cultural figures of the capital.
