HCM CITY - Most tourist sites in Ho Chi Minh City have hosted a wide range of activities with a view to bringing joy and happiness to visitors during the New Year.

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

With its colourful space of folk games and images of three deities symbolising 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 Au Co-Lac Long Quan where they can take souvenir photos and try their luck with New Year envelopes.

If young people in the city prefer trips to Vung Tau and Da Lat for romances, many families choose Nguyen Hue flower street and Tao Dan spring flower festival to enjoy the scenery.

These recreational centres have also greeted a lot of people hailing from neighbouring provinces. - VNA
