Countless interesting experiences at the largest Rose Festival in Vietnam on April 30 - May 1

Rose Valley in the Northwest

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

Millions of roses compete to bloom throughout the 3 summer months, leading visitors to explore a series of vibrant cultural and artistic activities at Fansipan. The main space of the festival is located in Vietnam's leading rose valley, with a scale of up to 50,000m², gathering hundreds of thousands of precious rose bushes from all over the world such as Sa Pa ancient rose, Abraham Darby, Society, Catalina, Molineux, Juliet, Black Baccarat, Rouge Royale, Spirit of Freedom...

This year, Fansipan Rose Valley has also been upgraded with more unique miniatures: giant roses, a rose book depicting the love of the highlands, a flower path with an angel statue leading the way, an artistic rose arch, along with princess dresses and hot air balloons made from hundreds of fresh flowers,... Every corner of the rose valley is dreamy as if cut out of a fairy tale. No need to be a photographer, visitors just need to raise their phones to have artistic photos.

Not only pleasing to the eye with the scenery, the Rose Festival brings an "experience paradise" for visitors of all ages. Sweet Market - a shopping and culinary area inspired by roses - will serve interesting dishes and drinks such as rose ice cream, rose tea and cakes... In the space filled with the scent and cool weather of Fansipan, visitors can leisurely enjoy tea and cakes, and enjoy the vibrant art performances of the tourist area.

Unique games such as Carrying Love to Pick Roses, Northwest Dance... are also held throughout the festival season, stirring up the highland atmosphere and bringing laughter, as well as the opportunity to receive many gifts for visitors.

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 are meticulously decorated on electric cars, horse-drawn carriages and 300 ethnic artisans, ready to bring the scent of Fansipan to spread throughout the streets of the misty town. This "mobile symphony" not only stirs up the atmosphere of Sa Pa, but also leaves a strong impression of the culture and indigenous people.

Journey to discover the roof of Indochina

Just a few steps from the rose valley, Ban May appears like a vivid picture, where 7 highland ethnic minorities live together. Here, visitors will be immersed in the bustling rhythm of the flute and drum, explore traditional craft villages, and try their hand at folk games.

The highlight of Ban May is also the Northwestern cuisine, with fragrant grilled pig, sweet sticky rice, fresh stream fish, crispy black chicken, or a bowl of rich thang co,... all prepared by local chefs, ready to conquer all diners. With only 950,000 VND/adult and 700,000 VND/child, you have a complete combo: Fansipan cable car ticket and a mountain-style dinner at Ban May.

The journey would not be complete without taking the modern Fansipan cable car system, gliding through the white clouds, admiring the Hoang Lien Son range and the sparkling terraced fields in the pouring water season. Reaching the top, the scenery opens up to another world: ancient rhododendrons blooming brightly on the cliffs, 600 stone steps leading to the Great Amitabha Buddha Statue and the sacred spiritual complex, or the mountain train taking visitors to the top of the sky, touching the place where heaven and earth meet.

This is also the season when rhododendrons bloom at their most beautiful. Therefore, coming to Fansipan at this time, visitors can immerse themselves in the endless flower seasons stretching from the foot of the mountain 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 "Flags of the Border Region" vividly recreating the journey of building and defending the country in the highlands and the story of the miracle of the Fansipan cable car - the pride of Vietnam with 2 world records.

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