Kingdom of Rhododendrons and Rose Festival

About 10 minutes from the center of Sa Pa, visitors will arrive at the Sun World Fansipan Legend cable car station, where the journey to explore Fansipan begins.

As the highest mountain in Vietnam, Fansipan is praised by travelers as the most beautiful place to see rhododendron flowers in the country.

If pink azaleas start blooming in March, then in April and May, the spectacular blooming azalea picture at the top of the sky is truly complete.

When the ancient rhododendron trees with brilliant yellow flowers bloom on the cliffs, the whole mountain seems to be covered in a beautiful floral coat, making visitors amazed by this flower known as the "Queen of the Northwest".

At Kim Son Bao Thang Tu, the famous flower road, visitors can touch ancient rhododendron roots, which according to legend will bring luck and fortune for the trip.

The 2025 Fansipan Rose Festival with the theme "Sparkling among the clouds" is a highlight not to be missed during the April 30 holiday.

From April 26, the 50,000m² rose valley at Sun World Fansipan Legend will become a gathering place for hundreds of thousands of rose bushes from all over the world .

Visitors will admire famous rose varieties such as Sa Pa old rose, Molineux, Society, Abraham, Catalina...

Giant flower gates, artistic rose gardens and colorful flower hot air balloons will be the perfect backdrop for dreamy check-in photos.

The festival also offers a "Sweet Market" where visitors can enjoy unique rose-inspired products such as ice cream, tea, cakes, etc. and enjoy vibrant art performances.

Don't forget to join the rose parade from Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area to Sa Pa town center.

Tens of thousands of roses are delicately decorated on trams and horse-drawn carriages, along with 300 ethnic artisans, ready to spread the fragrance and color of Fansipan throughout the streets of the misty town.

Fansipan - a destination of thousands of experiences

Not only does it have majestic natural beauty, Fansipan also offers sacred and meaningful experiences. One of them is the solemn flag-raising ceremony at the roof of Indochina.

The colorful flags stand out against the blue sky and white clouds, and the Vietnamese songs echo in the middle of the forest, creating an extremely heroic scene at the height of 3,143m.

In particular, on April 30, Sun World Fansipan Legend will give away 300 red flag shirts with yellow stars and waving flags to visitors, to join in the exciting atmosphere of celebrating the liberation of the South and national reunification.

The spiritual complex on top of Fansipan is also a must-see destination.

Constructions such as the great Amitabha Buddha statue and Kim Son Bao Thang Tu with its majestic 11-story stupa in the sky and clouds are ideal places to worship and pray for peace.

Experiencing the culture of the Northwest region is an interesting experience for tourists.

Can not fail to mention Ban May, where the unique cultural features of the ethnic minorities in the highlands are preserved.

Visitors can make their own beaded bracelets, try beeswax painting with the Mong people, and play folk games with the locals such as bamboo jumping and throwing balls.

The melodies of flutes and drums, along with the vibrant colors of traditional costumes, will take visitors into a cultural space rich in identity.

Northwestern cuisine will keep tourists coming back.

The Northwestern people have a saying: "Sticky rice and sweet soup make the heart happy and the scenery beautiful." A complete journey cannot lack the sweet aftertaste that lingers in the heart of every tourist.
