The Nguyen Hue Flower Street, the largest flower market in the country, opened last night in HCM City and is ready to welcome local and international visitors after 10 days of extensive preparations.
More than 100,000 flower pots, brought from the Mekong Delta, Da Lat and HCM City, will line the famous street. Several millions of visitors are expected to visit the flower market for the Tet celebrations.
