4 Must-Visit Spring Destinations in Vietnam for 2025

Spring is Vietnam's most beautiful season. Throughout the S-shaped country, nature dons a fresh new appearance. This period also presents the perfect opportunity to experience Vietnam's most vibrant destinations.

Based on outstanding criteria, Visit Indochina recommends 4 unmissable tourist destinations during Vietnam's most beautiful time of the year.

1 - Fansipan - Tam Dao: The Heart of Northern Vietnam's Spring Experience

Fansipan, the highest peak in both Vietnam and the Indochina, is renowned for its snow-covered summit and cloud-piercing cable car system that takes visitors to unprecedented heights.

While tourism at Fansipan operates year-round, it becomes particularly impressive when winter brings cold air from mainland China across the border into Vietnam.

As the first and most intense recipient of the northeast monsoon winds, Fansipan transforms completely, creating a magical spectacle of nature's rapid changes.

In recent years, images of eager tourists taking cable cars or hiking to the "Roof of Indochina" to witness snow-covered mountains have made Fansipan increasingly famous.

With determination to conquer nature and create an attractive destination, Sun Group Vietnam successfully built a cable car system to Fansipan's summit, named Sun World Fansipan Legend.

Sun World Fansipan Legend is a complex of cultural tourism facilities, cable car services, entertainment venues, and luxury resorts, set against Fansipan's majestic natural backdrop.

The Guinness World Records recognizes Sun World Fansipan Legend as having the world's highest, longest, and most modern three-wire cable car system, first installed in Asia.

Located not far from Sapa, Tam Dao (Vinh Phuc province) is another attractive destination incorporated into Northern Vietnam's spring experience tours.

Known as the "Dalat of the North" with its mystical fog and cool climate, Tam Dao is a favorite "escape" for many travel enthusiasts.

When visiting Tam Dao, you'll experience four seasons in one day, with thick morning fog, intense midday sun, cool autumn afternoons, and chilly winter nights.

In spring, Tam Dao's attractions become mystical paradises beneath the misty clouds, making it perfect for "cloud hunting" experiences.

2. BaNa Hills - Da Nang: Admire the Flower-Covered Castle Complex at Ba Na and Experience Central Vietnam's Spring Heritage

In Central Vietnam during this season, yellow apricot blossoms fill the sky everywhere you go. In the ancient capital of Hue, the royal tombs and ancient citadel have been carefully restored, with reconstructed royal court ceremonies from feudal times offering unforgettable experiences.

Notably, on the journey through Central Vietnam, you can't miss Ba Na Tourist Area. With its European castle complex situated atop the highest mountain, surrounded by forests of rare flowers and plants gathered from around the world, Ba Na leaves a lasting impression on everyone.

When exploring Ba Na, visitors can experience hundreds of flower and herb species, take cable cars up the mountain to discover palaces and castles, and check in at the world-famous architectural marvel, the Golden Bridge.

3 - Phu Quoc - The Sleepless City in the Ocean of Southern Vietnam

Located in the southern part of Vietnam's map, Phu Quoc (Kien Giang province) has received major investments from leading Vietnamese corporations like Vingroup and Sun Group, featuring numerous spectacular events and constructions. This pearl island rising from the crystal-clear ocean has become Vietnam's tourism focal point with round-the-clock tourism services.

Visitors to Phu Quoc can experience countless "eye-catching" services and attractions, such as the largest craft beer warehouse, Sun World Hon Thom tourist area, and Sun Paradise Land Phu Quoc.

Particularly in Phu Quoc, every day is a festival. International-class shows and spectacular fireworks displays run 365 days a year, along with artistic programs like the Vietnamese Puppet Show, making it impossible for tourists to leave.

4 - Sun World Bà Đen Mountain (Tay Ninh): A Spiritual Journey for New Year Blessings

Bà Đen Mountain - a sacred land associated with the legend of Linh Son Holy Mother, is an unmissable pilgrimage site during the spring season.

At the mountain's peak, the magnificent spiritual complex of Sun World Ba Den Mountain features Asia's tallest bronze statue of the West Bo Da Son Buddha and an impressive Maitreya Buddha statue composed of 6,688 sandstone pieces.

Here, visitors can explore the Buddhist world through an exhibition center utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as 3D mapping video, 3D Hologram technology, and water shows in front of the Maitreya Buddha statue - technologies first introduced in Vietnam.

Sun World Ba Den Mountain is also home to a series of year-round cultural and spiritual festivals and events, including the Mountain Lady Spring Festival, Maitreya Spring Festival, Black Lady Festival, Buddha's Birthday, Vu Lan Festival, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva Festival, and more. Notably, the sacred lamp-offering ceremony held every Saturday evening has become a reason for thousands of tourists to visit the resort each weekend.

Tourism at Ba Den Mountain combines natural exploration experiences with spiritual destinations where people come to pray for peace and sow wishes for blessings in the new year.
