Opening on April 26th, the Fansipan Rose Festival 2025 promises to offer a series of attractive experiences, making Sa Pa a top destination in Northern Vietnam during the April 30th - May 1st holiday and this summer.

The Valley of Roses amidst the vast forests of Northwest Vietnam

As one of the most anticipated annual festivals in Sa Pa, the 2025 Rose Festival will be held at the Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area with the theme "Brilliant Amidst the Clouds" from April 26th to May 5th.

Millions of roses bloom in vibrant colors throughout the three summer months, leading visitors to discover a series of exciting cultural and artistic activities at Fansipan. The main venue for the festival is located in Vietnam's leading rose valley, spanning 50,000 square meters and featuring hundreds of thousands of rare rose varieties from around the world , such as the ancient Sa Pa rose, Abraham Darby, Society, Catalina, Molineux, Juliet, Black Baccarat, Rouge Royale, and Spirit of Freedom…

This year, the Fansipan Rose Valley has also been upgraded with many more unique scenic spots: a giant rose, a book of roses depicting love in the highlands, a flower-lined path with angel statues leading the way, an artistic rose arch, and princess dresses and hot air balloons made from hundreds of fresh flowers... Every corner of the rose valley is dreamy, like something out of a fairy tale. You don't need to be a photographer; just point your phone and you'll instantly have artistic photos.

Beyond its breathtaking scenery, the Rose Festival offers a "paradise of experiences" for visitors of all ages. The Sweet Market – a shopping and food area inspired by roses – will serve delightful food and drinks such as rose-flavored ice cream, rose-flavored tea, and rose-flavored pastries… In the fragrant and cool atmosphere of Fansipan, visitors can relax, enjoy tea and pastries, and experience the vibrant artistic performances of the tourist area.

Unique and unusual games like "Carrying Love to Pick Roses" and "Northwest Dance" are also organized throughout the festival season, enlivening the atmosphere of the highlands and bringing laughter, as well as opportunities to receive many gifts for tourists.

In particular, visitors can join the rose carnival parade from Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area to the center of Sa Pa town. Thousands of roses, meticulously decorated on electric vehicles and horse-drawn carriages, along with 300 ethnic artisans, are ready to spread the beauty and fragrance of Fansipan throughout the misty town. This "mobile symphony" not only enlivens the atmosphere of Sa Pa but also leaves a strong impression of the local culture and people.

A journey to discover the roof of Indochina.

Just a few steps from the rose valley, Ban May appears like a vibrant painting, where seven ethnic minority groups of the highlands live together. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the lively rhythms of flutes and drums, explore traditional crafts, and try their hand at folk games.

A highlight of Ban May is its Northwestern Vietnamese cuisine, featuring fragrant grilled "piglet carried under the arm," sticky and sweet bamboo rice, fresh stream fish, crispy black chicken, and a rich and flavorful Thang Co stew... all prepared by local chefs, ready to win over any diner. For only 950,000 VND per adult and 700,000 VND per child, you get a complete combo: Fansipan cable car ticket and a delicious mountain-style dinner at Ban May.

The journey wouldn't be complete without a ride on the modern Fansipan cable car, gliding through fluffy white clouds, admiring the Hoang Lien Son mountain range and the shimmering terraced rice fields during the rainy season. Reaching the summit, the scenery unfolds like another world: ancient rhododendron trees bloom brilliantly on the cliffs, 600 stone steps lead to the Great Amitabha Buddha statue and a sacred spiritual complex, or the mountain railway takes visitors to the highest point, where heaven and earth meet.

This is also the season when rhododendrons bloom, at their most beautiful. Therefore, visiting Fansipan during this time, tourists feel as if they are immersed in endless seasons of flowers stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the "Roof of Indochina".

Don't miss the sacred moment of the flag-raising ceremony at an altitude of 3,143m, where the national flag flies proudly. Also, enjoy the art show "Colors of the Borderland Flag," vividly recreating the journey of nation-building and defense in the highlands, and the story of the miraculous Fansipan cable car – a source of Vietnamese pride with two world records.

The Fansipan Rose Festival 2025 is not only an opportunity to stroll amidst thousands of flowers, but also opens up a journey to conquer Fansipan Peak - the roof of Indochina, combined with exploring the rich culture and cuisine of the Northwest region. With many attractive activities, the festival is expected to attract a large number of tourists, making Sa Pa a top destination during the April 30th - May 1st holiday and this summer.
