Da Lat flower festival to kick off on December 29

The sixth festival, themed “Da Lat - A Multitude of Flower Colours”, will take place in the Central Highlands city of Da Lat from December 29 to January 2, 2016.

Chairman of the Da Lat People’s Committee Vo Ngoc Hiep said at the recent press conference held in Hanoi that the biennial flower festival, a trademark of Da Lat city, aims to honour flowers, flower growing and business while praising and encouraging efforts by local growers and businesses involved in developing the local flower industry.
The event will feature an array of tourism and cultural activities including flower exhibitions in the city's downtown; a flower carnival; a vegetable-flower fair; and a science conference on flowers.

For the first time in the festival's history, there will be a gala night for local flower raisers at Lam Vien Square on January 1, which is dedicated to individuals and agencies involved in developing the local flower industry. 
During this year's festival, numerous activities will take place throughout the city to keep the festive atmosphere alive such as fashion contest, flower painting festival, golf tournament, singing contest and festival for local art troupes. 
This year's event is expected to attract more tourists to Da Lat city, Chairman Vo Ngoc Hiep hoped, and adding that the city welcomed nearly 500,000 tourists
in previous festivals.
Located 1,500m above sea level on the Langbiang Plateau, Da Lat claims some of the country's most beautiful lakes, waterfalls, forests, gardens and landscapes that make for beautiful flower country.
