Held annually since 2018, the Horse Hoofs in the Clouds event at Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area has become a familiar activity for many tourists coming to Sa Pa during the summer.
This year's Cloud Horse Hoofs season is expected to be held in June, with the participation of about 30 jockeys from Bac Ha, Simacai, Tuyen Quang, Bat Xat, Lao Cai. Their race track will go around the valley of roses with millions of blooming flowers.
The horsemen participating in the race are originally from highland ethnic groups, putting aside their daily farming work to gather here. What they have in common is the martial spirit, love of sports and the concept that there is no winning or losing, only pride. In particular, the war horses are also highland horses, attached to the people, helping them in carrying goods and moving on the dangerous roads of the Northwest.
This activity is one of the efforts of Sa Pa and Sun World Fansipan Legend tourist area to recreate the typical culture in Sa Pa from the last century.
