Where do azaleas bloom most beautifully?

Known as the queen of flowers in the Northwest, rhododendrons are found in abundance on high mountain peaks such as Pu Ta Leng, Bach Moc Luong Tu..., but the rhododendron forest that blooms the most and is most brilliant is on Fansipan - the roof of Indochina.

Considered the holy land of rhododendrons, Fansipan has more than 40 different species of rhododendrons in all colors, including many rare ancient trees up to 300 years old.

Admiring the beauty of rhododendron flowers from the cable car to the top of Fansipan is definitely an unforgettable experience for every tourist when coming to the Northwest mountains and forests.

From the height of 2,000m of the cable car cabin, visitors will have the opportunity to admire the brilliant yellow and red flower carpets, creating a mesmerizing natural picture in the vast space of Hoang Lien mountain range.

With the appearance of the cable car, exploring the beauty of the Northwest mountains and forests and azaleas on the top of Fansipan has become easy for everyone.

No need to have experience climbing mountains or venturing through the forest, visitors can freely admire the interwoven flower carpets and enjoy the majestic scenery from above safely and comfortably.

The most beautiful flower-viewing routes in Fansipan are La Han route, the area around the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara statue and around Kim Son Bao Thang Tu located at an altitude of 3,000m above sea level. These are extremely hot check-in spots with stunningly beautiful "virtual living" angles.

When do azaleas bloom most beautifully?

Rhododendrons usually bloom most beautifully around March to April every year and bloom for about a month afterwards.

According to followers of the Northwest flower queen, this summer is the year of azaleas in season in Fansipan, with carpets of blooming flowers covering the Hoang Lien Son range. Currently, Fansipan azaleas are in their most beautiful blooming season of the year, attracting thousands of tourists to enjoy the flowers, especially on weekends.

The best time to see and take pictures of azaleas during the day is around 10 - 11 am, when the flower carpets are exposed to the majestic nature under the fresh sunlight.

Tourists visiting Fansipan at this time are not only fascinated by rhododendrons but also lost in the land of roses in the giant rose valley stretching over an area of 50,000m2, gathering about 300,000 rose bushes, belonging to 150 precious rose varieties. Many attractive experiences at the Fansipan Rose Festival 2024 lasting for 2 summer months will also make visitors forget to go home.

Immersing yourself in the beautiful space of the Northwest sky and land filled with the scent of rhododendrons, visitors seem to be entering a fairy world , where time suddenly passes slowly and all worries disappear in the cool breeze of the mountains and forests.

Tourists who do not have time to go to Fansipan in the morning can capture the beautiful natural moments in the sunset, when the rhododendron flowers are as brilliant as vibrant sparks before the sun gradually sets behind the horizon.

What to prepare to hunt the most beautiful moments of azalea flowers?

Although the weather has entered summer with hot temperatures appearing continuously in the Northern provinces, the highlands of the Northwest are still cool and are the perfect place to escape the heat. Especially on the top of Fansipan at an altitude of more than 3,000m, the climate is quite cold in the early morning and late afternoon. Therefore, windproof clothes, warm shoes and drinking water are the "inseparable" items of tourists on the journey to discover the beauty of this brilliant flower.

Costumes with bright colors are definitely a great choice for photography enthusiasts to stand out among the Northwestern mountains and blooming rhododendron forests.

The ideal time to take photos with azaleas is early morning or late afternoon, when the sunlight is not too harsh and casts shadows.

In the highlands, to have beautiful, unique photos that capture the beauty of rhododendron flowers, many tourists choose to take photos from above by climbing trees, which is quite dangerous. However, at Fansipan, tourists can see the flowers right at their fingertips on the walking path leading to Kim Son Bao Thang Tu.

This is also the check-in corner to get the most beautiful close-up of flowers, with photos capturing the breathtaking panoramic view of the Northwest mountains and forests.
