Lam Dong (VNA) – A new cherry blossom viewing space was officially launched on the evening of January 27 along Tran Hung Dao street, a heritage route lined with distinctive French-style villas in Da Lat, the central province of Lam Dong.
The launch, organised by authorities of Xuan Huong – Da Lat ward, introduced the “Lighted flower and art street” under the theme “Creating with Da Lat cherry blossoms”.
The space stretches for about two km along Tran Hung Dao street, where rows of cherry (Prunus cerasoides) trees are currently in full bloom, offering a scenic setting enhanced by century-old pine trees and historical French-style villas.
Designed as an open cultural and artistic space, the route features street music performances alongside painting and photography displays, creating a lively yet poetic atmosphere typical of the mountain destination. To highlight the cherry blossoms, organisers have installed dozens of lighting fixtures illuminating the flower canopies, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the blossoms both during the day and at night.
According to the organising board, nearly 100 photography and fine art works are on display along the route. Each presents a unique perspective on Da Lat’s cherry blossoms or depicts iconic local landmarks such as Xuan Huong Lake, Da Lat Cathedral and Da Lat Railway Station.
More than 300 national flags are also artistically arranged beneath the blooming cherry trees and combined with lighting effects, adding to the visual appeal and creating a refined viewing space for visitors at all hours.
Through this initiative, organisers aim to promote aesthetic and cultural values while establishing an open, accessible environment for cultural exchange and artistic enjoyment.
The event is among the experiential activities held as part of the Cherry Blossom Festival – Da Lat Spring 2026, currently taking place in central Da Lat and surrounding areas. The festival seeks to honour and promote the cherry blossom, a symbolic flower of the misty Da Lat, which is now in peak bloom across many streets and has drawn large numbers of residents and tourists in recent days./.
