Nguyen Hue Street

During Tet, Nguyen Hue Street, which is one of the main thoroughfares in downtown Saigon, closes to car/motorbike traffic and is transformed into a flower festival. It was amazing to see how quickly they were able to construct such elaborate displays, including a ginormous flower mountain. It is also impressive because these displays will only be up for a week and then torn down. It was incredibly crowded, and there were entire families there in formal attire having portraits taken. It was a wonderful way to stroll through downtown, which we don't normally get to do because of the traffic.
