At the beginning of September, Mù Cang Chải (Yên Bái) reaches its most beautiful time of the year with golden rice fields stretching across the valleys. In Lìm Mông village, Cao Phạ commune, Mù Cang Chải district, the Paragliding Festival "Flying Over the Scenic Land - Golden Season 2024" will take place, promising to attract a large number of locals and tourists during the September 2nd holiday.
Here, visitors can admire unique paragliding performances and even directly experience flying with pilots.
According to the organizers, at the event, 20 motorized paragliders will fly in coordination, creating aerial formations with artistic smoke. Hundreds of non-motorized pilots will take off from the top of Khau Phạ Pass, fly over the Lìm Mông valley, and land near the opening ceremony location.
The most special highlight will be the paragliding performance carrying the national flag to celebrate Vietnam's National Day on September 2nd.
The program offers tandem paragliding flights for tourists, both motorized and non-motorized, running from August 25th to November 30th. From the sky, visitors can admire the surreal beauty of Mù Cang Chải’s terraced fields.

Recently, Mù Cang Chải was ranked first in the top 25 destinations with incredible surreal beauty by the travel site Wanderlust Storytellers.
During this holiday, if you visit Mù Cang Chải for paragliding, you can also participate in the first Sơn Tra Flower Festival with the theme "Legend of Sơn Tra", the bánh giầy (sticky rice cake) pounding festival, and the Mông people's new rice celebration.
Recently, ziplining, an exhilarating activity, has become popular among tourists visiting Mộc Châu (Sơn La). The thrill of hanging mid-air while taking in the majestic scenery of the Northwestern mountains excites and fascinates visitors, making it a fun activity to try during the September 2nd holiday.
The zipline in Mộc Châu is about 700 meters long with four parallel tracks. The starting point is located at over 130 meters above the ground.
The cost for a zipline ride here is 180,000 VND for adults and 120,000 VND for children (height 100-140 cm). With a full package ticket of 990,000 VND per person, tourists can also visit the glass bridge, try the rainbow slide, zipline, race in Formula 1 cars, and play water guns on the river.
For those who enjoy height challenges, walking on the Bạch Long glass bridge is also worth trying. In 2022, the Guinness World Records recognized Bạch Long as the world's longest pedestrian glass bridge.

At the end of the bridge is Mường Moóc cave, also known as Chim Thần cave, featuring natural stalactites.
From August 31st to September 2nd, this tourist area will also host many exciting events, such as reenacting the H'Mông people's "Wife Pulling" custom, celebrating weddings in the traditional way of the White Thái people, the "Khen Calling Friends Market", the Northwestern music festival, Tuấn Hưng’s concert, and a fireworks show.
3. Mountain Train and Cable Car Rides to See the Golden Season in Sa Pa
At the end of August and beginning of September, the terraced fields of Sa Pa (Lào Cai) are draped in a stunning golden "cloak", attracting visitors from everywhere.
Tourists can wake up early, feel the cool misty weather, and take the Mường Hoa mountain train from the town, passing through the valley and catching glimpses of the rice fields.
You can also enjoy the picturesque view of Sa Pa’s harvest season from above by taking the cable car to the top of Fansipan. The journey to the mountain peak is filled with vibrant red-orange gladiolus flowers, and the sea of white clouds often makes a spectacular appearance.
