This year's festival is anticipated to attract about 200 artisans and gardeners from cooperatives nationwide, showcasing over 39,000 orchid products, surpassing previous editions. In addition, several international artisans from the United Kingdom and other countries will participate, adding a global touch and enhancing international exchange in ornamental horticulture.
The exhibition space is uniquely designed around the theme "The Colorful Train Journey", inspired by the symbolic reunification trains that departed simultaneously from Hanoi and Saigon on December 31, 1976, embodying aspirations for peace, reconciliation, and national unity.
