Ms. Nguyen Thi Nhung (born in 1955, residing in District 8) shared that her family has been attached to Ho Chi Minh City for more than 20 years. For the past 6 years, every year the family has been busy preparing clothes to go on a spring outing at Tao Dan Park. In previous years, the whole family usually went with 25 people, but this year the family went with 17 people because the older children are currently studying and working far away and cannot return.

Ms. Nhung expressed that if Ho Chi Minh City lacked the Spring Flower Festival, the city's Tet culture would not be as complete as before.

"Coming here, my family feels very happy and joyful to be immersed in the Tet atmosphere, especially when the children play enthusiastically, helping the whole family clearly feel the spring atmosphere. I also hope that the city will develop more and more each year, while still preserving the unique traditions of spring at the Tao Dan Park Spring Flower Festival" - Ms. Nhung confided.
