Flamboyant flower festival to dazzle Hai PhongThe northern port city of Hai Phong will become vibrant again during the Hoa Phuong Do (Red Flamboyant Flower) Festival to be held from May 12 to 14. A performance featuring the city’s development at a gala night called Hai Phong Vuon Ra Bien Lon, or Hai Phong reaching out to the sea, held last year. The annual cultural and tourism event was initiated in 2011, through the idea of showcasing the city’s abundant and beautiful flower blossoms, and to promote and boost tourism and enhance the image of Hai Phong. Over the last seasons, the Flamboyant Flower Festival has become a recognised festival of the port city, symbolising and praising its people and land. Renowned as the city of flamboyant flower, Hai Phong is a peaceful city of wide boulevards dovetailed with organised tree rows.
