When winter comes, Moc Chau is filled with the pure white color of plum and mustard flowers blooming all over the hillsides. The changing weather brings a characteristic cold, making the space become strangely quiet and peaceful. Below are 5 unique places that tourists should visit when coming to Moc Chau.
Tea hill
Moc Suong tea hills are located in Tan Lap village, more than 20 km from Moc Chau town. In winter, despite the cold weather, the tea hills in Tan Lap still cover themselves in fresh green, stretching to the horizon. This is also the time when light fog covers the landscape, creating a poetic, picturesque scene.
When coming here, visitors not only enjoy the fresh air but also have the opportunity to take beautiful photos next to the carefully tended tea rows, softly curving along the mountainous terrain. In particular, the Heart Tea Hill area - a symbol of Moc Chau, is a stop not to be missed.
Mu Nau Plum Valley
Mu Nau is about 5 km from Moc Chau town. In winter, the whole valley is covered with pure white plum blossoms, like snow falling in the Northwest sky. Coming here, you can walk through small trails, touch each plum blossom branch and feel the gentle fragrance of nature.
Locals note that the road up the valley is quite steep, so visitors need to prepare climbing shoes for a safer trip.
Pha Luong Peak
If you are an adventurer, Pha Luong peak is a destination not to be missed. In winter, this mountain is immersed in a sea of floating clouds, creating a breathtaking scene that anyone would want to admire once in their life.
The road to Pha Luong is quite challenging, but those difficulties will add value to the journey. The mountain top is also an ideal place to hunt clouds and admire the majestic mountains and forests.
Na Ka canola flower field
Located about 16 km from Moc Chau town center, Na Ka valley in winter is likened to a "canola flower paradise" in the heart of the plateau.
Dozens of hectares of white mustard flowers are in full bloom, spreading across the hillsides and valleys, creating an incredibly poetic scene.
The best time to visit Na Ka is early in the morning, when the gentle sunlight penetrates the mist, creating a magical fairy-tale look. This is not only an ideal place for taking photos but also brings a sense of peace and complete immersion in nature.
Ngu Dong Ban On
Ngu Dong Ban On is a complex of 5 caves located deep in the mountains of On village, about 15 km from Moc Chau town. Although you have to walk through small paths in the middle of the primeval forest to get here, the magical beauty of the caves will make you feel that the effort to come here is completely worth it.
In winter, the scenery around Ngu Dong is covered with mist, creating a mysterious and peaceful feeling. The caves are formed by unique stalactites, a destination for those who love novelty and challenge.
From Hanoi to Moc Chau is about 180 km, depending on the route you choose. The average travel time is from 4 to 5 hours by car or motorbike, depending on speed and traffic conditions.
When traveling in winter, visitors should remember to bring warm clothes and check the weather before the trip to ensure safety.
