Van Mieu Park and a street near it will be the main venues for the three-day festival, to open on February 13, as part of the nation’s 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi.
It will be titled Hanoi – Ngan Nam Van Hien, Dong Thap – Tram Nam Sen Vang (Hanoi – 1,000 years of culture, Dong Thap – hundreds of years of golden lotus).
The park’s entire six hectares will be covered with flowers while cultural activities will highlight the city’s achievements and development during the last year.
Artisan Tran Van Lam will make Vietnam’s biggest ngu qua (five fruits) tray which will depict two dragons and Hanoi’s One-Pillar Pagoda.
There will be around 20 other events, including a water-puppet show, tea performance, cai luong (reformed theatre) show, calligraphy exhibition, cock-fighting, and others.
The flower festival will be broadcast live on local television.
