Vườn hoa Tết 1.000 m2 hút khách ở 'toạ độ triệu đô' TP.HCM

With more than a month until Lunar New Year, the spring atmosphere has already filled the flower garden at Ba Son Station (Saigon Ward, Ho Chi Minh City). Many young people are flocking there in traditional ao dai dresses to take photos.

The flower garden by the Saigon River, near Ba Son Station (Saigon Ward), covers approximately 1,000 square meters and is decorated with a Tet theme. It's open free of charge for people to visit and take pictures.

This place is also known as a "million-dollar spot" as it's located next to the Marina building, boasting a priceless view directly overlooking the Ba Son Bridge and Landmark 81.

From 3 PM onwards, many young people choose traditional ao dai dresses to take photos and check in amidst the flower beds. Hoa (20 years old), who brought her own prepared flowers, chose a time after 5 PM, determined to have a Tet photoshoot with her friends while also enjoying the sunset.

Flowers such as impatiens, periwinkle, chrysanthemum, and sunflowers are arranged in clusters with various layouts to cater to people's photography needs. During rush hour, many office workers also stop by before taking the metro home.

Yen Nhi (20 years old) and her friends chose to travel by metro to the flower garden, hoping to capture photos amidst the vibrant flowers, with high-rise buildings in the background. She said this is one of the earliest spring flower gardens to open in the city center, offering a panoramic view of the Saigon River.

Small landscapes with a rustic style, such as bamboo bridges, haystacks, and conical hats, are arranged throughout the garden in the city center, attracting many children to play.

After visiting and taking photos here, tourists can combine their trip with visits to nearby attractions such as Bach Dang Wharf, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and the riverside park by metro train.

Besides the flower garden, an art space with interwoven metal circles and colorful wires is arranged along the river, creating a more dazzling light effect at night.

Many young people choose this place to enjoy the days when Ho Chi Minh City is "as cool as Da Lat," with the lowest temperatures in 10 years.

Taking advantage of the weekend, Minh Yen and her group of friends took photos from 3 PM until evening. “There are many good spots to take pictures, like the flower garden during the day and the lighting at night. Even at night and in the dense vegetation, I didn't get bitten by insects,” Yen said.

The early opening of the flower garden not only adds a spring destination for people but also demonstrates Ho Chi Minh City's efforts to revitalize the urban landscape, optimize riverside land, and transform technical infrastructure areas into cultural spaces to serve the needs of visitors and those seeking experiences.
