Thousands of travellers have flocked to downtown Ho Chi Minh City to visit the 10th flower display on Nguyen Hue Street, District 1 which was opened to the public on February 7 (27th day of the last lunar month). 
Highlights of Nguyen Hue Flower Show 2013
Themed "The Heart of VietNam", this year's Nguyen Hue flower show is divided in three sections including Spring in the Highlands, Spring in the Plains and Spring on Islands.
The first segment of The Spring in the Highlands showcases the cultural diversity of the highland region through its musical instruments. The second segment will see a big waterfall decorated with flowers and huge rocks taken from Da Lat central highlands city.
The Spring in the Plains and the clock tower in front of the Sun Wah Tower showcases the images of 10 mascots which are symbols of the last flower shows on Nguyen Hue Street over the past ten years.
The Spring on the Islands features stylized sailing boat on a sea of flowers representing a good fishing season, green coconut trees, white sand beaches, and baskets.
The highlight of the show is the two giant snakes made of melaleuca bark with their tails bent together to form a heart.
WARNING: Flower street, which features a gigantic flower-made cobra and 100 different kinds of flowers to be displayed along the 1km road, will run until 10pm on Feb 14 (5th day of the new lunar year).
