The area is divided into two sections - scenery and peach flower exhibition. In the first section that is arranged based on the theme Nui-Song va Hoa (Mountain-River and Flower), visitors can contemplate the beauty of the peach flowers that Lang Son province has been endowed with. The second section - the peach flower exhibition - is set up on peach path decorated with 65 peach trees.

A variety of art performances are also taking place as part of the festival, including then and sli (folk songs of the ethnic Nung in the region) singing and dragon dancing.
