As Lunar New Year holiday lasts for nine days, giving people ample time for entertainment activities, Đầm Sen Park started serving visitors from the last day of the Year of the Cat and will open till the 14th day of the first month of the Year of the Dragon.

With its colorful space of folk games and images of three deities symbolizing happiness, wealth and longevity, the Park has welcomed a large number of tourists during these days.

Tourists also have a chance to contemplate a flower street stretching from the gate of the park to the statue of Âu Cơ-Lạc Long Quân where they can take souvenir photos and try their luck with New Year envelopes.

If young people in the city prefer trips to Vũng Tàu and Đà Lạt for romances, many families choose Nguyễn Huệ flower street and Tao Đàn spring flower festival to enjoy the scenery.

These recreational centers have also greeted a lot of people hailing from neighboring provinces. - VNA
