Sa Pa Snow Festival had held the 6th season. In December 2021 Sa Pa Snow Festival continues to be organized by the Lao Cai Provincial Tourism Information and Promotion Center in coordination with Sa Pa authorities and local businesses. The festival has really become an attractive and unique tourism product of Sa Pa and an indispensable destination in winter for tourists who love the misty land.
Snowfall is a common natural phenomenon in temperate countries, but in Vietnam, a subtropical country, this is the most anticipated special event in winter. For many years Sa Pa has snowfall and the Snow Festival as an opening event for the annual snowfall season. Sa Pa located at an altitude of over 1500m above sea level with the roof of Indochina - Fansipan peak 3,143m, where ice and snow often appear in winter, becomes more and more attractive to tourists every Christmas season.
Sa Pa in the cold winter, the snow covering the mountains and forests, the roads and roofs around the town creates a splendid and glorious scene and it is also the time when the whole family and friends gather together, enjoy traditional warm dishes of Sa Pa such as thang co, salmon hot pot, dried buffalo meat, night barbecue or participating in crowded and bustling outdoor activities.
