Day 1: Hanoi - Moc Chau - tea hill
Tourists take a passenger car or limousine from Hanoi in the morning, arriving in Moc Chau after about 4-5 hours. After checking in and having lunch, they can rent a motorbike to visit the Old Farm Town area (now Co Do ward).
Heart-shaped tea hill is a familiar stop. On sunny days, you should arrive after 3 pm to soften the light. Visitors should avoid stepping on tea beds and only take photos in the permitted area.
If you go in the pink or plum season, you can visit open gardens to welcome guests. Garden entrance prices are usually listed separately by the garden owner, depending on the time and accompanying services.
