Prime "golden land" plots, long vacant in central Ho Chi Minh City, have been transformed into temporary parks and Tet flower streets, drawing many residents for visits and recreation.
A park on the 8 Vo Van Tan plot, part of the Phan Dinh Phung Sports Complex project, spanning over 14,000 m2, has officially opened to serve TP HCM residents for Tet.
Former District 1 and 3 land plots will have their fences removed to create temporary flower gardens and parks for the upcoming Tet Binh Ngo holiday in 2026.
Several Hanoi parks have been revitalized following multi-billion dong renovation projects, which added greenery, lighting, playgrounds, and community spaces.
More than 40 long-standing mahogany, rain tree, and eucalyptus trees in the park were felled and moved elsewhere; authorities have identified security guards and park management staff as involved.
