Dong Thap Province in southern Vietnam opened its 2025 Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) flower street in Cao Lanh City on Saturday, with crowds of excited visitors gathering to admire the beautifully designed floral displays and take photos with this year’s adorable snake mascots.

Located on Ly Thuong Kiet Street, the Tet flower street features an array of large and small displays that harmonize tradition with modernity.

These displays celebrate Dong Thap’s heritage as the 'land of pink lotuses' while highlighting its progress and integration into the future.

The entrance of the Tet flower street features a pair of snake mascots with their heads forming a heart. 

The mascots’ soft, flowing design adds a playful, approachable touch, making them a favorite for families and children eager to snap photos.

The flower street also highlights grand scenes symbolizing traditional Tet festivities and local cultural hallmarks.

Visitors are particularly impressed with the ‘Craft Village Heritage’ display, which vividly recreates traditional village activities.

From intricately woven mats to handcrafted boats and vibrant bowls of noodles, the exhibit captures the rustic charm and cultural richness of local craft villages, preserving a unique aspect of Vietnamese heritage.

Nguyen Thi Kieu Trang, a resident of Cao Lanh City, expressed her admiration for this year’s snake mascots. 

"Their playful, approachable design really resonates with families, especially kids," she said.

"Every year, my family visits the flower street at night, then returns the next morning for family photos. 

This year’s displays, particularly the mat-weaving village, are beautifully arranged."

The street’s vibrant floral arrangements include sunflowers and multicolored chrysanthemums as the main highlights, accompanied by thousands of orchid baskets.

A tunnel of orchids, designed to mimic a snake shedding its skin and renewing itself, stretches gracefully across the path.

The flower street concludes with iconic images of Dong Thap, such as pink lotuses, the playful ‘Baby Lotus’ mascot, and a flock of cranes in flight.

The street is open to visitors free of charge from the 26th day of the 12th lunar month to the fifth day of Tet.
