Mang Den: The vibrant pink of cherry blossoms attracts tourists at the beginning of 2026.

Right in the early days of the new year 2026, Mang Den commune, Quang Ngai province, became a tourism hotspot as it donned a vibrant "spring dress." The gentle pink of cherry blossoms bloomed simultaneously amidst the cool weather characteristic of the mountainous region, attracting streams of tourists who flocked to visit and take記念 photos.

Pink hues blanket the vast forests of Mang Den.

During the 2026 New Year's holiday, the central area of ​​Mang Den commune, along with the roads leading to the night market, the local market, and the Mang Den Art Garden, was always crowded with people. According to statistics, the commune currently has over 20,000 cherry blossom trees, mainly concentrated in the central area. Despite prolonged cold spells, many trees still bloomed simultaneously, creating striking pink blossoms against the deep green backdrop of the mountains and forests.

Along the streets covered in pink blossoms, tourists excitedly posed for photos beside the blooming trees. Many families and groups of young people couldn't hide their excitement at this rare and picturesque scene. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ha Linh, a tourist from Hue City, shared: "I'm really impressed because the cherry blossoms here bloom in long rows, making them very easy to photograph. The weather is cool and the air is fresh, so the whole family enjoyed admiring the flowers and taking pictures without feeling tired."

The most noteworthy highlight of this year's event series is the hot air balloon festival amidst the blooming flowers. From above, visitors can gaze upon the misty Mang Den plateau, the winding roads through the pine forests, and the vast expanse of pink cherry blossoms, offering a novel and memorable experience.

New vitality for local tourism.

The cherry blossom season has significantly revitalized local tourism. According to reports, on the very first day of the 2026 New Year's holiday, occupancy rates at accommodations in Mang Den reached 100%. Many tourists had to book rooms a week in advance to secure accommodation during this peak season.

Mr. Le Van Tung, the owner of an accommodation facility in Mang Den, said that the sharp increase in visitors is not only for relaxation but also for participating in the "photo-hunting season." The cherry blossoms here were planted in 2010 and usually bloom most beautifully for about two weeks, becoming a symbol of spring in this region.

Mr. Pham Van Thang, Chairman of the People's Committee of Mang Den commune, affirmed that through cultural and tourism activities at the beginning of the year, the locality hopes to bring tourists rich experiences with unique characteristics, affirming Mang Den as a safe, friendly destination and ready to welcome tourists throughout 2026.
