Highland flower festival in full bloom | Vietnam Today

In early 2026, the Highland District of Mukangchai in Lao Cai Province have already attracted thousands of visitors nationwide with the Hain Mong Festival and the Dozei Flower Festival in the spotlight. Dozei flowers, known in the Hmong language as wild peach blossoms, are now in full bloom across the mountain slopes, serving as a tourism ambassador for the province. Favorable weather has brought even vibrant blooms, sparking an early-year tourism fever. Roads into Mukangchai Common are lined with vehicles and visitors flock to join the festive season. There are many destinations we could have chosen, but we decided on Mukangchai because the Dozei Flower Festival is very well known. I'm really excited to be here during the festival and to see the Dozei flowers in full bloom. Dozei flower season represents the beauty of Mukangchai. I felt that the flowers were blooming abundantly with bright colors and they looked amazing in photos. Beyond its natural beauty, the Dozei flowers have become a unique tourism product that reflects a strong local identity. The appeal of this year's blossom season has grown even stronger as the Commune coordinated the opening ceremony of the Hmong Can Festival, the Dozei Flower Festival and a series of activities welcoming spring 2026. My daughter and I planned this trip together so we could arrive right at the peak bloom. Coming to Mukangchai, we managed to take some great photos to share with friends and family. The pink hues of Dozei flowers blending with the rhythms of Hmong Can flutes are writing a new chapter for highland tourism, a radiant beginning that promises a vibrant 2026 for local tourism.
