Running until August 30, the 2024 Crocosmia Flower Festival at Fansipan is becoming a magnet for visitors during the late summer and early autumn in Vietnam. With a sea of flowers stretching from over 3,000 meters high and a series of exciting activities, it showcases the vibrant colors of the Northwest region.

As Sa Pa transitions into autumn, the weather gradually cools down, and even at the sacred peak of Fansipan, it can be quite chilly, prompting visitors to don warm jackets. Amid this refreshing autumn atmosphere, a sea of golden-orange flowers creates a stunning landscape atop Indochina's roof.

Crocosmia is known in Vietnamese as dơn thóc

Every August, crocosmia flowers bloom vibrantly in Sa Pa, covering the mountainsides with an alluring red-orange hue that shines against the blue sky and white clouds. Notably, as one ascends, especially at the peak of Fansipan, crocosmia flowers bloom even more abundantly and brilliantly, forming a breathtaking natural scene.

Unlike the flowers found in the lowlands, crocosmia is the "muse" of the highlands, known for its resilience. The flowers symbolize extraordinary willpower and strength, standing firm against life's harsh circumstances, much like the indomitable spirit of the Sa Pa people.

At an elevation of 3,143 meters on Indochina's roof, crocosmia flowers bloom like fiery orange sparks, exuding a majestic beauty. These flowers bring warmth and are cherished by the local people as symbols of unity, abundance, and happiness.
