Lost in the sea of flowers and Ban May
The journey to start International Women's Day should start leisurely right from the entrance to the tourist area in Fansipan. From here, visitors will be welcomed with a brilliant yellow silk strip woven from millions of mustard flowers.
Different from the beauty lost in the city, mustard flowers in Fansipan are planted along the road to the tourist area to Ngu Sac hill, following the mountainside terrain to create waves of flowers undulating, stretching endlessly as if wanting to reach the blue clouds.
If the yellow color of wealth brings a rustic look, just strolling a little further towards Muong Hoa hill, visitors will be "awakened" by the brilliant orange color of Susi chrysanthemums. Small, beautiful chrysanthemums contrasting with the blue sky create an ideal "virtual living" setting for women.
When your eyes are "drunk" in the brilliant flower carpets, let the pungent smell of kitchen smoke lead you into Ban May. Likened to the "soul" of the great Northwest forest, this is a stop that visitors must not miss if they want to touch the true rhythm of life in the highlands. Ban May is a gathering place for the rhythm of life of 7 ethnic communities such as: H'Mong, Dao, Tay, Giay, Xa Pho, Ha Nhi and Thai with ancient houses brought from remote villages to preserve the original breath.
Here, the taste buds of visitors will be "awakened" by smoky kitchen meat or fragrant sticky bamboo tubes. In particular, Ban May is a "real-scene studio" with no dead angles; just standing in the old wooden porch or small stone steps, visitors will easily own "cool" photos. This is also the venue for the 1st part of the "Sacred Peak Travelogue" show with passionate khen dances welcoming travelers.
Admire azaleas from the cabin and immerse yourself in the meditation dance
Leaving Ban May, the cable car cabin will take visitors "fly over" Muong Hoa valley to explore other new and attractive experiences on the sacred peak. At this time, don't miss the opportunity to look down at the Hoang Lien forest carpet - where the "kingdom" of ancient azalea flowers begins to awaken.
In March, rhododendron branches along the La Han corridor begin to bud, dotted with red, pink, and white in the dim mist. Rhododendrons are not just flowers, they are symbols of strong vitality and nobility - a wonderful metaphor for women.
When stopping at the arrival station (altitude 2,800m), visitors will re-encounter the emotional flow of the "Sacred Peak Travelogue" show with chapter 2 "White Cloud Road". Amidst the echoing bells, artists in white costumes dance with lotus symbols amidst the spectacular natural scenery, making viewers feel like they are lost in a fairyland.
Touch the marker 3. 143m
When the heroic melodies of the final part of the "Sacred Peak Travelogue" show echo in the great forest, it is also the moment when tourists conquer the sacred peak Fansipan at an altitude of 3,143m. The feeling of touching the legendary milestone in that artistic space is the moment when tourists feel most "rich", which is rich in experience, rich in emotions and full of pride.
The journey back from the top will take visitors into another quiet world of the spiritual complex. Don't forget to take the time to worship the majestic Buddha statue in the clouds, or leisurely walk on La Han Road - where 18 finely carved bronze statues are hidden under the ancient rhododendron trees.
Visitors can also stop at Kim Son Bao Thang Tu, admire the wooden architecture in the style of Vietnamese pagodas of the 15th - 16th centuries, or stand in front of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteśvara statue to sincerely send good wishes.
In the peaceful space of the spiritual complex, when the sound of the pagoda bell echoes into the mountains and forests and then subsides gently into the cliffs amidst the faint mist, all daily fatigue seems to be shed.
Fansipan in March is not just a destination, but a complete experience of colors, sounds and peace of mind - a meaningful gift for women on the occasion of March 8th.
