Spring trip to celebrate Tet at Fansipan peak, praying for peace

In early spring, thousands of tourists and Buddhists have chosen to come to the sacred peak of Fansipan to admire the flowers blooming among the clouds, make New Year wishes at the solemn spiritual complex and enjoy spring in the Tet atmosphere imbued with the Northwest.

Ms. Minh Anh, a tourist from Hanoi, shared that although she has been to Sa Pa many times, this is the first time she and her family celebrate Tet on the 2nd day at the tourist area. Every time she comes to Fansipan, her family is surprised because there are many new beautiful scenes to "check-in", especially the festivals imbued with the identity of the Northwest.

The entrance area with a grand chrysanthemum scene welcoming the new year 2024, made of thousands of chrysanthemums of all kinds of brilliant colors; the Dharma wheel model, a symbol of Buddhism, representing luck and good things right at the Tam Quan Bich Van Thien Tu gate or the miniature flower waterfalls spread throughout the tourist area (KDL) especially attract visitors because of their uniqueness and brilliant colors, suitable as a backdrop for "virtual life" photos of the spring trip.

The highlight is the Dharma wheel model made of 3,000 stone lotus pots, representing the three thousand great thousand worlds in Buddhism, with the desire to convey the message of luck and goodness to all visitors and Buddhists during the New Year.

Models of gold jars, gold bars, coins and 368 flower pots of various types symbolizing wealth - fortune - prosperity, flower waterfalls symbolizing abundance, prosperity, bringing luck and fortune all year round are also chosen by many tourists to "check-in".

Many tourists also choose to come to Fansipan to pray for wealth and luck because this is the source of the nation's spiritual energy.

Not only enjoying the spring atmosphere on Fansipan peak, visitors also spend a lot of time praying for peace at the majestic spiritual complex, in front of the great Amitabha Buddha statue, the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara statue or Kim Son Bao Thang pagoda, at an altitude of over 3,000m. Like the mountain pagodas carved into the mountain rocks hundreds of years ago, the spiritual complex at the peak of Indochina brings visitors feelings of peace and tranquility for the first days of the year.

From the 3rd day, the spring atmosphere here becomes more bustling when the Flower Flute Festival and the Spring Festival opening the Fansipan Heaven Gate take place with many spiritual experiences and a meaningful highland New Year celebration.

Flower Flute Festival and Spring Festival opening Fansipan Heaven Gate attract many tourists

The highlight of this year's Flower Flute Festival is the Ethnic Festival program with a series of 5 different unique festivals lasting from February 13 to March 9, representing the ethnic minorities: Mong, Tay, Dao Do, Xa Pho, Giay. This will be an opportunity for visitors to experience many traditional festivals vividly recreated in Ban May such as: Gau Tao Festival of Mong ethnic group (from February 13 to February 14); Long Tong Festival of Tay ethnic group (from February 17 to February 18); Put Tong Festival of Dao Do ethnic group (from February 24 to February 25); Sweeping Village Festival of Xa Pho ethnic group (March 2 to 3); Roong Pooc Festival of Giay ethnic group (from March 9 to 10).

Tourists experience many traditional festivals vividly recreated at Ban May

On this occasion, many unique traditional customs of ethnic groups are recreated such as: erecting a pole, reenacting the wife-catching custom of the Mong people; Chau Then activity of the Tay people; worshiping ceremonies and dances, love songs, and children's songs of the Xa Pho people; xoe dances and egg-dying customs of the Giay people..., making the spring trip to the highlands of Sa Pa of tourists much more interesting.

In particular, in order to create conditions for a large number of people and tourists from all over to participate in experiencing the early spring festivals, typically the Spring Festival Opening the Gate of Heaven 2024, Sun World Fansipan Legend has implemented a policy of free entrance tickets to the tourist area for all tourists and residents from February 12 to March 19.

Return to Ha Long heritage site to welcome spring

When spring comes, many tourists choose Ha Long Bay to find quiet moments with pure nature with experiences such as watching the bay from a yacht, breathing in the mist from the clear blue sea, kayaking, exploring mysterious caves, visiting fishing villages on the sea...

Sun World Ha Long is colorful in the first days of the new year

Also bustling with visitors to visit in the spring is Sun World Ha Long, which is in the stage of welcoming spring flowers with brilliant miniature landscapes placed everywhere. Sunflowers - a flower symbolizing optimism and vitality, always facing the sun, are blooming and showing off their brilliant colors here, signaling a lucky and energetic new year.

According to folk beliefs, the image of the lion - dragon symbolizes luck, happiness, prosperity and brings many good omens in the new year. Spring and Tet come, if there are only yellow apricot flowers, banh tet, candies and jams without the sound of lion dance drums, it will lack the joyful and bustling atmosphere of Tet. Therefore, from the afternoon of the first day, Sun World Ha Long has specially presented the lion and dragon performance to welcome the first guests to the tourist area.

Visitors cannot help but be excited and enthusiastic when watching the red lion and dragon dancing joyfully before their eyes with the sound of trumpets and drums. Along with the lion and dragon to open the spring, the New Year's lucky money is also an activity that brings visitors memorable and meaningful experiences on the first day of spring. The minishow Around Tet Vietnam, which takes place every day from the 2nd, is especially attractive to visitors when it brings the atmosphere of the three regions right to the heart of the heritage city of Ha Long.

After moments of immersing in the vibrant, bustling Tet atmosphere, experiencing the games at the park, visitors do not forget to visit Bao Hai Linh Thong Tu, respectfully praying for a lucky and happy new year.
