Fansipan has long been a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Việt Nam's Northwest. The journey to conquer the "Roof of Indochina" typically begins with a spectacular cable car ride soaring above the clouds. Nestled at the foot of the cable car station, Bản Mây Village welcomes visitors as a charming stopover, showcasing a different beauty in every season of the year.

The activities are taking place across urban, coastal, cultural, heritage and mountainous areas, helping to promote the central city as a destination of diversity combining beach holidays, cultural exploration, arts enjoyment and sporting engagement.

Established in 2025, the Vietnam Pioneers Network provides a space for ethnic communities to share their heritage stories, helping reduce ethnic stereotypes and promote understanding of cultural diversity. Operating on a voluntary basis, the network connects community groups in localities across the country through core members.

From jazz and classical music to festivals and heritage preservation programmes, localities are organising diverse and creative cultural and artistic activities, helping spread cultural values.
