Accordingly, the people’s committee assigned the managing board for Tuyen Lam Lake national tourism area to host and coordinate with relevant agencies and the Da Lat city People’s Committee to build plans to realize the festival.

Earlier, the first Da Lat Cherry Blossom Festival which was expected to take place from February 11th to 13th, 2017, was cancelled because at the time close the festival, prolonged rain and unpredictable cold weather prevented the flowers from blooming. However, after the Lunar New Year, cherry trees flourished and attracted many tourists.

Cherry blossom is favoured by many people and in recent years, the trees have been especially developed in the city.

According to local statistics, so far, more than 3,000 cherry trees have been grown in the centre of Da Lat, with most of them grown around XuanHuong Lake and nearby streets.

In addition, a project of developing cherry blossom space at Tuyen Lam Lake national tourism area was carried out from 2009 with an area of more than 100 hectares.

The entire funding for the cherry blossom festival is taken from socialization source./.
