(To Quoc) - Rhododendron flower season has officially begun in the Northwestern provinces, including Fansipan mountain peak (Sa Pa, Lao Cai). In addition to the beauty of Rhododendron flowers, many other flowers also compete in color, making Fansipan a sought-after destination during this time.
As the highest mountain in Vietnam, Fansipan owns more than 40 rare species of rhododendrons, blooming in different colors and heights. In early March, when the cold gradually gives way to the warm spring sunshine, the first rhododendron flowers also begin to bloom at the top of the sky.
According to the experience of many tourists hunting for rhododendrons, Fansipan rhododendrons will bloom gradually according to the altitude. In February and March, white, pink and purple rhododendrons will bloom from an altitude of over 2,000m.
Other flower colors such as yellow and red will bloom later from April to May, at altitudes higher than 2,000 m gradually reaching the top.
The most numerous and brilliant flowers on the Fansipan peak are the yellow azaleas. This flower, when entering April, will dye the entire sacred peak with a brilliant yellow color. Currently, Sun World Fansipan Legend Tourist Area has built azalea flower roads in the areas with the most azaleas, so that visitors can admire the "queen of flowers" of the Northwest at the closest distance and freely watch the clouds and sky, capturing the whole view of the mountains and forests of Sa Pa.
Not only are visitors to Fansipan satisfied with the brilliant colors of rhododendron flowers, they also have the opportunity to explore the unique wonders of the high mountains. Here, visitors can visit the Amitabha Buddha Statue - the bronze Buddha statue at the highest altitude in Vietnam, holding the world record, and visit and worship the serene statue of Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara amidst the clouds.
Or "hunt" for the sea of clouds, touch the top of Fansipan at an altitude of 3,143m and participate in the solemn flag-raising ceremony on the roof of Indochina.
At the foot of the mountain is Ban May, where the cultural quintessence of the ethnic minorities of the Sa Pa highlands converge. Visitors can not only explore the unique wife-catching custom of the Mong people, but also enjoy delicious Northwest specialties and immerse themselves in the festival atmosphere with the locals.
In addition to azaleas, visitors can also admire plum blossoms blooming at Fansipan cable car station.

Currently, in addition to the elegant red, yellow, pink, and purple colors of rhododendrons, this season Fansipan also shows off its beauty with pure white plum blossoms, elegant rum and magnolia flowers, and carpets of rough-leaf chrysanthemums of all kinds of interesting colors.
In particular, in just one month, Fansipan will be bustling with the largest rose festival in the Northwest. With a 50,000m² flower valley, gathering hundreds of thousands of climbing roses, Sa Pa old roses and imported roses, this event promises to be a highlight not to be missed. All preparations are being urgently carried out, ensuring the flowers bloom most beautifully from March, welcoming visitors on the 30/4 - 1/5 holiday and bustling until the end of June.
