Crowds of people flocked to Ba Den Mountain.

In the early days of the new year, from early morning, a long line of people stretched along the cable car station leading up Mount Ba Den ( Tay Ninh ). A bustling spring atmosphere enveloped the "roof of Southern Vietnam," as thousands of tourists came to pilgrimage, sightsee, and especially to take photos amidst the tulip gardens at their most vibrant.

From 7 am onwards, the square and attractions on the mountaintop were crowded. The cable car cabins operated continuously at full capacity. Families, groups of young people, and tourists from other provinces flocked in, their numbers increasing every moment.

Nestled amidst sacred mountains over 900 meters high, sprawling fields of red, yellow, purple, and orange tulips create a striking "sea of flowers" against the backdrop of the clear spring sky. This is a popular check-in spot attracting many tourists, especially families and young people.

Tulips bloom at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters.

Tourists, dressed in traditional Vietnamese ao dai, seized every opportunity to capture memorable photos at the beginning of the year.

The flowing ao dai dress is nestled amidst a "sea of flowers." Thousands of flower clusters are arranged in rows, with vibrant reds, golden yellows, dreamy purples, and dazzling oranges interwoven to create a multi-layered "carpet" of colors.

Tourists take photos of each other, capturing the vibrant moments of the new year.

"I made sure to leave early, but it was still surprisingly crowded. But once I got there and saw how beautiful the flowers were, it was worth it," shared Ms. Minh Anh (from Tay Ninh province).

Tulips are a characteristic flower of Europe, associated with the image of the distant Netherlands. Even in the southern sun, the flowers bloom evenly and vividly, surprising many tourists.

"I thought I only saw tulips on TV, but I never imagined I'd be standing in the middle of a whole garden like this," said Ms. Hue (from Ho Chi Minh City).

The tulip petals are thick, smooth, and gently curved like jade cups, standing out against the clear blue sky and strong wind. According to the organizers, the tulip festival takes place from February 16th to March 20th.

Besides the vibrant tulips, Mount Ba Den in the early days of the year resembles a miniature spring garden with many other flowers in bloom. In particular, the lotus fairy sculpture made from thousands of tiny flowers is becoming a new iconic spot for taking photos on Mount Ba Den.

Amidst the verdant natural landscape and clear sky, the lotus fairy gently shines, a symbol of purity and serenity.

The combination of many flower species creates a vibrant space, making visitors feel as if they are lost in a flower festival high in the sky. Many people shared that they were surprised to find such a rich "springtime painting" in the sunny and windy region of Tay Ninh.

Creating a vibrant floral display on the summit of Mount Ba Den during the peak spring travel season requires weeks of preparation beforehand.

From early morning, before the crowds of visitors gathered, the workers were already present in the flower garden. Some were trimming withered leaves, others were adjusting the flower clusters that had tilted after a night of strong winds. Some were carefully using handheld watering cans to add water to each row of tulips, avoiding damaging the petals.

From above, the summit of Ba Den Mountain is packed with spring festival-goers. Long lines of people stretch along the pathways, creating a bustling scene during the first days of the new year.
