Sa Pa, with its four-season natural beauty and the cultural diversity of its ethnic minorities, is a great tourist destination that attracts visitors. However, the complex mountainous terrain and the long distances between villages can make it difficult for visitors to fully explore the unique cultural features here.
For that reason, Ban May at Sun World Fansipan Legend will be a place to connect the beauty of Northwest culture in a concentrated space for visitors to easily experience. This is the only place in Sa Pa where visitors can experience the life of highland ethnic groups such as Sa Pa H'Mong, Dien Bien H'Mong, Xa Pho, Tay, Giay, Red Dao, Thai, Ha Nhi in the same day, at the same location.
Explore culture and cuisine
The ancient houses of May village were painstakingly brought back from the villages in Sa Pa and restored by local artisans. The living space is always warmed by the fire, with the daily life and customs of the ethnic people unchanged for hundreds of years.
Visitors will discover the process of making brocade, weaving, making incense, printing patterns with beeswax, bamboo and rattan weaving... from highland artisans. What is in Ban May is created for visitors to have the most Sa Pa, the most Northwest feeling.
A tourist’s trip would not be complete without experiencing the night cuisine at Ban May. Local specialties are best enjoyed in the space of bamboo hedges, stilt houses and stone walls typical of the village. The most attractive is when sitting by the flickering campfire, with the bustling laughter of tourists.
Until December 31, 2024, visitors will have the opportunity to experience dinner at Ban May at a reasonable cost (from 250,000 VND for children and 300,000 VND for adults) with specialties made from typical ingredients of the Northwest and prepared by local people.
The menu at Ban May is quite rich and attractive, from fragrant grilled dishes to soups and hot pots with rich mountain flavors.
Experience traditional crafts
When mentioning the Northwest, tourists will immediately think of the colorful brocades on the traditional costumes of the people here. However, not everyone has ever seen with their own eyes, or thoroughly learned about the process of making the beautiful shirts and dresses of the people.
On all days of the week, in the morning from 9:30 to 11:30 and in the afternoon from 13:50 to 16:00, at Ban May, there will be Northwest art performances such as cultural exchanges with Tay and Xa Pho artists and mini shows with the themes "Little Sapa", "Northwest in Blooming Season", "Love of Fansipan"...
One of the most favorite experiences of tourists when coming to Sa Pa is taking pictures with the costumes of ethnic minorities. When coming to Ban May, tourists will be able to wear costumes hand-woven by the locals, with standard materials, designs, and colors, not cross-bred with any other place.
Nestled at the foot of Fansipan Mountain, Ban May attracts visitors from every corner as it contains cultural stories and the simple yet profound beauty of the highland people. This is also one of the reasons why Ban May has become a destination not to be missed this November.
