During the Lunar New Year of the Fire Horse 2026, if you’re looking for a place to travel, welcome good fortune, and recharge your energy for the year ahead, Nui Than Tai is a destination well worth visiting.
Set amid Da Nang’s expansive natural landscape, the Than Tai Festival 2026 – “Journey of Welcoming Fortune” opens up a joyful spring atmosphere that is lively yet thoughtfully calm—inviting visitors to return to origin and reconnect with traditional Tet values in a way that feels close, contemporary, and emotionally rich.
A spring journey at Nui Than Tai is an experience to savor in the early days of the new year. Welcoming the first blessings of spring, immersing yourself in the shared rhythm of community festivities, or simply spending quality time with family and friends—all become emotional touchpoints for a beginning that feels joyful, meaningful, and warm.
The festival takes place over 15 days, from 18 February to 4 March 2026 (the 2nd to the 16th day of the first Lunar month), daily from 9:00 to 11:30, making it easy for visitors to plan their Tet itinerary while exploring Da Nang.
A festive New Year space – Where Tet unfolds in color and rhythm
The festival space opens like a vivid spring tableau, where Tet is expressed through sound, color, and experiential rhythms. From ceremonial opening drums, Lion–Dragon dances, and the God of Wealth parade with the 12 zodiac animals, to receiving personalized Fortune Cards based on one’s zodiac sign—each moment carries wishes of luck and prosperity for the year ahead.
Alongside these are familiar folk cultural activities such as calligraphy writing, spring fortune picking, enjoying Bai Choi performances, participating in traditional folk games, and printing Dong Ho folk paintings—experiences that gently evoke the spirit of Vietnamese Tet in a natural, accessible, and emotionally resonant way.
The Journey of Welcoming Fortune – Spring travel through five experiential stops
The highlight of the Than Tai Festival 2026 is the five-stop Fortune Journey, designed as a seamless spring excursion. Along the way, visitors do more than observe festivities—they gather moments of togetherness and send heartfelt wishes for a new year filled with luck, peace, and smooth success.
No longer just “watching a festival,” the Fortune Journey at Nui Than Tai is a series of experiences to engage in, feel, and connect with—where positive energy flows through every early-year activity.
Touching the primal rhythm of a spring journey
Amid lush mountains and forests, a spring journey at Nui Than Tai offers a chance to fully reconnect with nature—where natural hot mineral water winds through valleys, warm steam drifts through the forest air, and the pace of early-year life gently slows.
Here, the festive spirit of spring blends with the sound of flowing water, the green hues of the forest, and the distinctive sense of relaxation from hot mineral springs. It is a balance between vibrancy and tranquility—lively enough to feel spring’s arrival, yet calm enough to restore energy and touch the original values of Tet with all five senses.
Nui Than Tai thus becomes more than a spring destination—it is a space where visitors can immerse themselves in nature, spend meaningful time with loved ones and themselves, and embrace a new beginning filled with peace, warmth, and a deeper connection to Da Nang’s mountain landscapes.
Relaxing and recharging amid the nature of Nui Than Tai
Alongside the festive atmosphere of the New Year, Nui Than Tai opens a space for slowing down and gently caring for the body. Nestled in a verdant valley, the natural hot mineral spring system offers deep relaxation as warm waters blend with fresh mountain air, allowing both body and mind to unwind after days of travel and celebration.
Time spent soaking and resting in nature not only restores energy but also helps rebalance the rhythm of life at the start of the year—making your spring journey in Da Nang more complete, calm, and ready for a positive new beginning.
A cultural touchpoint of early spring at Nui Than Tai
The Than Tai Temple is a spiritually meaningful stop along the spring journey. Featuring a 5.2-meter-tall statue of the God of Wealth and 800 smaller statues across a 7-hectare site, the temple offers visitors a place to pay homage and send wishes for national peace, personal prosperity, and a fulfilling life in the new year.
Returning to origin on a spring journey in Da Nang sometimes requires only a festival to spark the year, a space to restore energy, and moments of togetherness deep enough for emotions to linger.
