Not just virtual life - this April 30 tour also makes you feel patriotic in your own way

The April 30 – May 1 holiday is not only a mid-summer break, but also a milestone that reminds us of the proud historical memories of the nation. Along with the explosion of the “emotional travel” trend, more and more people are looking for journeys that are not only beautiful – but also profound. That is when trips called “check-in with the red flag and yellow star” take the throne: where each frame not only has scenery, but also pride.

Fansipan (Sa Pa) - Ha Long (Quang Ninh)

On the top of Fansipan , the “roof of Indochina”, on the morning of April 30, a solemn flag-raising ceremony will take place at the highest flagpole in Vietnam. Amidst the drifting clouds, the moment the red flag with a yellow star flutters promises to be an unforgettable visual experience with the sacred emotions of a historic day. Without any explanation, the image of the flag amidst the blue sky, mountain wind and white clouds is enough to arouse deep pride in the hearts of everyone present. At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, all sounds become smaller – only the whistling wind, the sound of temple bells echoing down from the spiritual complex – and the sound of the heart beating strongly in the chest.

Fansipan, Sapa.

After the ceremony, the journey continues down the winding stone paths on the mountain slopes. On this occasion, visitors will be able to participate in the Rose Festival - one of the most anticipated events in Sa Pa. More than 300 varieties of roses from all over the highlands, old roses and foreign roses are gathered, blooming in the cool valley, creating a poetic yet brilliant scene. Flowers bloom on the mountain slopes, interspersed with indigenous art activities, blending in with the cultural space typical of the Northwest region.

Ha Long, Quang Ninh.

At the same time, in Ha Long Bay, Sun World Ha Long put on the most brilliant "festival outfit" of the year. Thousands of national flags covered the entertainment space, most notably the giant flag on the boat in the middle of the Tornado Water Park, creating a "national background" for every virtual photo. The atmosphere did not stop at images: the "Liberation Army" parade, the "I Love Vietnam" flashmob, the Victory buffet, the Liberation booth... promised to make the vacation a journey to evoke memories in a youthful, attractive, and unconventional way.

Danang

In the Central region, the journey leads to one of the most prominent iconic tourist destinations in Vietnam – Ba Na Hills peak, Da Nang .

Golden Bridge, Da Nang.

On the occasion of April 30 this year, the world-famous bridge will be adorned with flags and flowers. The constructions on Ba Na such as the French village, the Golden Bridge... will be covered in brilliant red and yellow. It is not difficult to see foreign tourists stopping to take photos next to the red flag with yellow star, curious about the meaning of this important day - and from there, a Vietnamese story is told in color, without the need for commentary.

Sun Flower Festival, Sun World Ba Na Hills.

The festival space becomes even more brilliant when the Sun Flower Festival enters its peak blooming period. With more than 100,000 sunflowers in full bloom, Ba Na peak transforms into a giant golden carpet, as vivid as the paintings of the famous artist Van Gogh. The scene is even more vibrant thanks to a series of rich artistic activities: solo zither playing, Cancan dancing, Malambo drum dancing... - the combination of traditional Asian beauty and international festival spirit makes every corner become a memorable visual and auditory experience.

Tay Ninh

In the South, Tay Ninh is a "red address" not to be missed with many revolutionary destinations and meaningful activities, creating a series of memorable "back in history" experiences during this year's 5-day holiday.

Just over 2 hours away from Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh has long been known as a sacred land with the Ba Den mountain complex - a place where spiritual space, majestic nature and many cultural tourism projects converge.

Black Lady Mountain, Tay Ninh.

Towards the April 30th celebration, the flag-raising ceremony at Ba Den Mountain will be held every Monday morning until the end of the holiday (ie on April 7th, April 14th, April 21st and April 30th). From 6am every Monday, visitors to the top of the highest mountain in the South will be given red flag shirts with yellow stars to attend the flag-raising ceremony. Thousands of employees of Sun World Ba Den Mountain tourist area and visitors look towards the national flag flying on the top of the mountain at the foot of the statue of Buddha Tay Bo Da Son, creating an extremely emotional moment. Also on this occasion, visitors to Ba Den Mountain can participate in many special sideline activities to celebrate the United Nations Vesak 2025 such as visiting the exhibition of Buddhist paintings by artist Hoang Phong, watching art performances recreating intangible cultural heritages.
