Featuring more than 50 carefully selected photographs, Phong takes viewers on a captivating journey through vibrant flower markets, boats overflowing with spring blossoms in the Mekong Delta, and streets adorned with yellow apricot blossoms, an iconic symbol of spring in southern Vietnam. Each photograph not only tells a story of cherished memories and traditions but also presents a fresh perspective on a rapidly modernizing city that remains deeply rooted in its cultural identity.
