One million tulips bathe in spring colors, transforming the spring festival on Ba Na peak into a flower kingdom amidst the clouds
The Year of the Horse 2026, the spring festival on Ba Na peak is marked by the image of over a million tulips simultaneously blooming on Chua Mountain peak. 36 rare flower varieties imported directly from the Netherlands were cultivated and cared for by the team under the special climate conditions of the mountain peak, creating seamless "flower paths in the clouds" from the central square, along the stone-paved paths, to the French Village, Moon Castle, or Eclipse Square.
Amidst the clouds of Ba Na Hills, a sea of 36 rare tulip varieties creates a scene like a "miniature Netherlands" in the heart of Da Nang.
Amidst the interweaving shades of red, yellow, orange, and purple, the entire space seems "dyed" in the vibrant colors of spring. Strolling through the sea of flowers, many tourists share the feeling of wandering into a fairy tale land of the "land of windmills" right in the midst of the white clouds. Every corner is meticulously cared for, and just raising a camera can capture European-style photos.
Four "worlds in the clouds" and a series of shows – the unique rhythm of Ba Na Hills' spring festival
From tulip flower fields to traditional spiritual spaces, the spring travel journey at Ba Na brings many layers of emotion.
The point that makes the spring festival on Ba Na mountain peak attractive lies not only in the flower fields but also in the expanded experience structure following a four-season park model with four distinct spatial zones. The Miraculous Land carries the joyful, bustling atmosphere of the festival season; the Sun Kingdom is full of energy; the Moon Kingdom is romantic and magical; while the Homeland Zone is where many tourists choose to stop, pray at the beginning of the year, and find tranquility for a new beginning.
Accompanying the floral spaces is a series of outdoor shows taking place continuously throughout the festival season at Sun World Ba Na Hills. Love in the Sky has a romantic color; Solar Warrior is inspired by Rome with lively malambo drumbeats; saxophone sounds echo in the open space; circus acts in the Moon Castle create surprising highlights at different times. Especially, the cabaret show After Glow is increased to three shows per day during Tet, helping tourists flexibly arrange their viewing times.
The After Glow cabaret show increases by three shows daily during Tet, allowing visitors to flexibly choose their viewing time.
The traditional Tet atmosphere is also clearly present through the Lion Dance art exhibition space with lion dances, New Year's lion processions, and traditional mask painting activities. At Tru Vu Tra Quan, the New Year's fortune-telling activity takes place daily from 9 AM to 4 PM until the 6th day of Tet, adding a cultural slice to the spring journey in the clouds.
"1 ticket for 3 days" – a privilege that transforms the spring festival on Ba Na Hills into a complete holiday
A significant highlight that caused a surge in visitors during the Year of the Horse Tet in 2026 is the breakthrough cable car ticket policy. From January 1, 2026, each ticket at Sun World Ba Na Hills is valid for 3 consecutive days, allowing unlimited cable car rides up and down within 72 hours from the first use.

This policy turns the trip from a "race against time" into a leisurely journey, ample enough to enjoy every moment. Tourists can spend the first day admiring tulip flowers, the second day exploring shows – castles – amusement areas, and the third day experiencing spiritual spaces, cuisine, and art.
Thanks to this "powerful ticket", many families choose to spend 2-3 full days on top of Chua Mountain to truly immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere. One ticket opens up a complete experience: taking photos amidst a sea of tulip flowers, enjoying shows, experiencing games, and enjoying every moment of early year reunion.
From the brilliant fireworks on New Year's Eve by the Han River to the sea of tulip flowers in the clouds, Da Nang opens up a seamless spring. And if you need a destination for early year spring travel in the Year of the Horse 2026 that gathers "all-in-one" – from European flowers, traditional Vietnamese Tet, modern entertainment to a peaceful spiritual space – then the spring festival on top of Ba Na Mountain is the most perfect answer.
