Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Son - Vice Chairman of Ha Long City People's Committee said that the total investment of the flower city project in the period of 2024 - 2025 is over 43 billion VND: "We will learn from the experience of neighboring localities, such as Uong Bi city planting bougainvillea, Cam Pha planting roses, Co To planting peach blossoms... to avoid wasting public investment. Previously, we also allocated resources to invest in the urban green tree system and assigned the city's Public Utilities Board to bid for maintenance and upkeep. If we plant flowers, it will only replace old trees, and if we continue to maintain them regularly, there will not be much additional cost."
