Sun World Ba Na Hills kicks off the Lunar New Year of the Horse with festivals and millions of tulips in bloom

Millions of tulips in bloom create a spring spectacle above the clouds at Ba Na Hills

For many visitors, celebrating Tet is no longer just about visiting temples or taking a few early-year photos. It is about finding a place that is beautiful enough to admire, lively enough to spend an entire day, and distinctive enough to leave a lasting memory. That is exactly how Sun World Ba Na Hills has shaped its Lunar New Year of the Horse spring season this year, making full use of its advantages to refresh the Tet experience in its own way. 

Millions of tulips will burst into full bloom right during Tet on the summit of Ba Na Hills

The resort officially opens its spring season from February – the most beautiful time of the year, when the mountaintop is bathed in gentle sunshine, the air is crisp and clear, and seas of clouds drift softly across the sky. From the moment visitors pass through the entrance gate, the festive atmosphere is unmistakable, with spring colors spreading throughout every sightseeing and entertainment area. 

The standout highlight of this year’s Tet season is the sight of millions of tulips blooming atop Nui Chua. For the first time in Vietnam, Sun World Ba Na Hills has become a park that actively cultivates and showcases millions of tulips on a large scale to welcome spring. Tulips in a wide spectrum of colors, including rare varieties, blanket iconic spots such as Heaven Garden, Eclipse Square, and Le Jardin D’Amour Garden, creating dazzling “flower paths in the clouds.” Beyond check-ins, visitors can truly stroll through what feels like a miniature Europe in the very first days of the new year.

Tet experiences at Ba Na go far beyond spring flowers. The space is expanded under the concept of a four-season park with four worlds in the clouds, leading visitors on a journey through four lands, each offering a distinct atmosphere. The Land of Wonders is cheerful and vibrant; the Solar Kingdom pulses with energy; the Lunar Kingdom is romantic and mystical; while the Land of Origins – the spiritual zone – offers a peaceful stop for reflection at the start of the year. Each land is infused with messages of good fortune and auspicious beginnings through spring greetings, small gifts, and luck-inspired activities, allowing visitors to feel the spirit of the new year in every moment.

Traditional Tet colors are woven throughout the experience without breaking the main flow. From the foot of the mountain, visitors are welcomed by Tet-themed decorations at the Time Gate, and can explore Vietnam’s first Lion Dance Art Space with lion dance parades and mask-painting activities. At the summit, the Land of Origins becomes a favored stop for families to pay their respects at the start of the year, try spring fortune-telling, request calligraphy from scholars, enjoy tea, and listen to đàn tranh music in a serene setting amid clouds and sky.

Another reason many visitors choose to stay at Ba Na from morning until night during Tet is the continuous lineup of outdoor shows that recreate the lively atmosphere of traditional spring festivals. From the Solar Warrior show with Roman-style choreography and powerful malambo drumbeats, to saxophone performances in open-air settings at the Land of Wonders, and circus acts at the Lunar Castle, every time slot brings a new highlight. In particular, the 18+ cabaret show After Glow is increased to three performances daily at 1:30 pm, 3:30 pm, and 6:30 pm, making it easier for visitors to plan their day without missing out.

The Tet experience at Sun World Ba Na Hills is further completed by its culinary offerings. During this period, buffet restaurants such as Four Seasons, Taiga, and Beer Plaza serve “Tet buffet” menus featuring traditional Vietnamese New Year dishes. Alongside these are signature best-sellers designed specifically for each themed land, creating delightful culinary stopovers along the spring journey.

With a harmonious blend of scenery, festivals, culture, and entertainment, Sun World Ba Na Hills emerges as an ideal destination for visitors to fully embrace the spring season, welcoming the Lunar New Year of the Horse with light steps, joyful moments, and a sense of good fortune from the very beginning.
