The ancient city of Hue in the central province of Thua Thien-Hue is currently experiencing a festive atmosphere with the Lunar New Year festival, known locally as Tet, fast approaching.

Thuong Bac park is a popular venue in which local residents and tourists come together to participate in the annual flower spring festival. These days workers at the site are busy preparing for their most important event of the year.

In contrast to previous years, the flower festival is being held in many places throughout the city, as opposed to only running in Thuong Bac park.

A unique wooden bridge situated close to Huong river represents a favourite check-in spot among local people.

A view of the scene in front of the headquarters of the local administration is a popular spot in which visitors can snap photos.

Workers dedicate themselves to the task of decorating a pedestrian street on the banks of the Huong river ahead of Tet.

Locals wear Ao Dai, a traditional long dress, as they pose for group photos in order to keep nice memories of their Tet celebrations in Hue.

Pots of bonsai trees are put on display as part of the ancient city’s flower festival.

Bia Quoc Hoc Square plays host to one of the ongoing spring festivals in Hue.

The streets are kept extremely clean whilst an array of flowers serves to beautify the city over the festive period.
