Despite the intense heat across the country, the top tourist destinations in the North such as Sa Pa, Ha Long, and Sam Son still recorded thousands of visitors coming to their recreational areas during the first two days of the April 30 – May 1 holiday. With the current hot climate, most tourists in the North choose itineraries with beach destinations such as Ha Long and Sam Son.

Join the Dragon Festival in Ha Long

Ms. Bao An, a tourist from Hanoi, said that her family chose Ha Long for the holiday. The reason the whole family wanted to come here is because in hot weather like this, swimming in the sea is the ideal choice. In addition, during the holiday, Ha Long also organizes many new events and festivals, especially the Dragon Festival at Sun World Ha Long which opened on the first day of the holiday.

From early morning on the opening day, thousands of locals and tourists flocked to the Golden Dragon Fountain area, Dragon Park in the tourist area to witness the eye-catching Lion and Dragon performances of the Sun World Ha Long Open Lion and Dragon Competition Festival 2024.

Dinoshow - The show "Dinosaurs and friends" and the Dragon Garden area at the Festival are also two "key" spots that attract many tourists to come and have fun.

Many people shared that they felt like they were lost in the Jurassic Park film set when coming to Dinoshow, and Dragon Garden surprised them with its grandeur, with giant Dragon models meticulously built right in the center of the garden.

Along with the Dragon Festival, visitors to Ha Long can also drink unlimited Camel beer and eat famous squid rolls for free at the Beer and Squid Cake Festival. Here, visitors can also see and share a “super giant” squid roll weighing 200 kg, 2.5 m in diameter and 30 cm thick.

The Ha Long Carnival Festival also opened on the second holiday day, April 28, offering visitors a unique space to enjoy art and impressive drone performances.

See the Sea Square, watch the water music show in Sam Son

Also a coastal area near the capital with many "hot" beaches no less than Ha Long, on the occasion of April 30 this year, Sam Son was packed with people coming to swim.

After hours of relaxing in the cool sea water, at night, visitors to Sam Son can experience many exciting activities in the Sea Square area and the festival landscape axis which was opened on the first day of the April 30 holiday at the Sea Tourism Festival. This is also part of the reason why the city is especially attractive to tourists this year.

On the evening of April 27, more than 300,000 people flocked to the square to watch the opening art program, witness the inauguration of the square, and watch the brilliant fireworks display at the end of the program.

Visitors are especially excited to watch the free water music show and check-in with 20 bronze drum-shaped decorative trees lit up by a themed art lighting system. Many visitors liken this place to a "miniature corner of Singapore". In addition to watching the show and walking around, visitors can also enjoy many delicious dishes and shop freely at the stalls along the walking street of the sea square.

Enjoy "winter in summer" and see millions of roses in Sa Pa

Instead of going to the sea, many tourists flocked to the Northwest, to Fansipan on the occasion of the April 30 holiday, to avoid the heat and enjoy the "surreal" scenery of millions of roses blooming brilliantly at the Fansipan Rose Festival.

On the morning of April 27, thousands of tourists flocked to Sun World Fansipan Legend to attend the opening ceremony of the Rose Festival in the largest rose valley in Vietnam, spanning an area of ​​50,000 square meters, part of the cable car station complex of the tourist area.

Ms. Nguyen Anh Thu, a tourist from Hanoi, said: “Every year my family goes to Fansipan on the occasion of April 30. The air here is always cool and pleasant. There is also an annual Rose Festival. The flowers are more brilliant every year with many new miniatures.”

More than 150 varieties of roses, from climbing roses, old Sa Pa roses to imported roses such as Monileux, Society, Abraham, Catalina... are spread throughout the flower valley, making visitors feel like they are lost in a fairyland, absorbed in the colors of the flowers and not wanting to go back.

While still overwhelmed with the feeling of being immersed in the flower carpets, many tourists excitedly joined the splendid flower car parade from Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area to the center of Sa Pa town or participated in the most magnificent "wedding procession" in the Northwest at Ban May.

On this occasion, rhododendrons are also blooming in the misty clouds. Standing on the top, admiring the majesty of the Northwest mountains and forests, taking in the lush yellow rhododendrons, enjoying the cool breeze of temperatures always below 20 degrees Celsius, makes each visitor's holiday experience more memorable and poetic than ever.
