2012 Spring Flower Festival
If you already have decided to make a visit to Saigon but
still not sure when or what time of the year; then I suggest you do your travel
during the tet holiday. Tet spans the 3rd and 4th week of
January and is considered as the biggest holiday in this city, even bigger than
Christmas or any other celebrations. Throughout
this celebration, the Spring Flower Festival is one of the major highlights. It
is an event wherein they showcase hundred varieties of flowers, fishes, trees,
grafted stones, wood sculptures, bonsai plants, cacti and the list goes on. The
festival happens in various parks in the city. One park you should not dare
miss is Tao Dan Park, which featured a humungous size pair of dragons made from
various plants and flowers this year. Below are some photos of assorted flowers that I took during that said event.
