To attract tourists to the locality at the end of the year, especially during the cloud hunting season, Sa Pa is comprehensively promoting tourism activities and boosting stimulus solutions with great incentives.
Unique experience where clouds cover the sky
Cloud hunting is one of the interesting experiences that tourists cannot miss when coming to Sa Pa to witness with their own eyes the scenery of mountains and hills immersed in a sea of floating clouds, gentle but extremely magnificent and majestic. The ideal time to hunt clouds is from October to March every year.
When it comes to beautiful cloud hunting spots in Sa Pa, people cannot help but mention the symbol of the "city in the mist" - Fansipan peak. With an altitude of 3143 m, this place is surrounded by undulating mountains, steep cliffs, above are floating clouds, rolling like waterfalls. From here, visitors can fully admire the scene of the sea of white clouds floating around Fansipan mountain and admire the majestic spiritual architectural complex, blending into the festival atmosphere and discovering the unique indigenous cultures of the ethnic minorities in the Northwest at Ban May, checking in at the immense flower hills at the foot of Fansipan mountain...
In addition to the "roof of Indochina", in Sa Pa there are many ideal places to hunt clouds such as: O Quy Ho pass peak, Ham Rong mountain; highland villages such as: Sau Chua village, Seo My Ty... O Quy Ho is the longest pass in the Northwest, about 15 km from Sa Pa. Standing from the top of the pass, visitors will be able to fully admire the majestic and poetic mountains and forests with layers and layers of white clouds rolling to create a beautiful natural picture.
Tran Anh Van's group of friends (Hanoi) said that with many years of experience in backpacking, he and his friends are quite lucky with the mountain pass in Sa Pa, never once missing the clouds. "This time was no exception when the top of O Quy Ho pass was filled with sunshine, the sky was blue, and the white clouds were as vast as a lake," Van shared.
Ham Rong Mountain is one of the places that tourists must visit once when traveling to Sa Pa. Located at an altitude of more than 1,800 m above sea level, here, visitors can both enjoy cloud hunting and admire the panoramic view of the peaceful Sa Pa town hidden in the thick fog. In particular, if coming to the top of Ham Rong on a beautiful sunny day, many lucky people can also admire the magical scene of clouds flowing with light.
To bring the most unique experiences to tourists when coming to Sa Pa to hunt clouds this time, Lao Cai province and Sa Pa town have coordinated to organize many large-scale, unique events and festivals, imbued with the colors of the Northwest culture, from traditional festivals, art exhibitions, to sports and entertainment activities...

In particular, the Stone Lotus Festival conveys a positive message about the recovery and development of Sa Pa after the recent storm No. 3. Stone lotus is like the people of Sa Pa with the ability to bloom brilliantly on the dry rocky slopes symbolizing strong vitality in the midst of difficulties. In particular, at the Fansipan Cable Car Station, visitors will not be able to take their eyes off the uniquely designed stone lotus "tower" with 3,143 green Sa Pa stone lotus plants symbolizing Fansipan peak - the roof of Indochina at 3,143 m high.
