1. Mu Cang Chai rice fields
Mu Cang Chai has long been a familiar destination for travelers and photography enthusiasts every rice season. Located in Yen Bai province, the rice fields in Mu Cang Chai district are mainly concentrated in three communes: La Pan Tan, Che Cu Nha and De Xu Phinh.
Mu Cang Chai terraced fields are attractive from the time when the rice is just green shoots until September and October when the rice fields turn golden yellow. Standing from Khau Pha Pass, visitors can admire the majestic scenery of the Northwest mountains with a vast expanse of rice. The stilt houses hidden in the soft curves of the rice fields during harvest time make Mu Cang Chai as beautiful as a captivating painting.
2. Moc Chau mustard flowers
Located about 200 km from Hanoi, Moc Chau is a favorite destination for many backpackers every winter. At that time, the pure white color of rapeseed flowers covers the entire plateau, attracting the footsteps of travelers. Areas such as Pa Phach village or behind the pine forest of Ang village are always bustling with convoys of vehicles chasing beautiful moments.
Moc Chau Valley is most beautiful in the early morning, when the night dew still lingers on the branches and leaves, that is when the rapeseed flowers become most attractive. In the vast space with the gentle fragrance, the red color of the poinsettia or the deep brown color of the soil make the space even more poetic and magical.
3. Moc Chau tea hills
Unlike the rapeseed fields, the green tea hills create the attraction of Moc Chau at any time of the year. Because it is the main economic crop, throughout the town, visitors can see high and low tea hills with different beautiful scenery.
Especially in December, when arriving in Moc Chau, visitors can also admire with their own eyes the pure white tea flowers, lying among the green leaves, attracting many species of bees and butterflies, unintentionally creating a very beautiful picture.

Grown in large quantities in Ha Giang, especially on the road from Xi Man to Hoang Su Phi, buckwheat fields are an unmissable destination for backpackers every late autumn and early winter. At this time, buckwheat and Ha Giang become a hot topic on all travel forums.
Buckwheat flowers have a life cycle of about a month, when they first bloom they are white and then turn to light pink, purple and dark red. Perhaps that is why during the harvest season, the white and light pink colors spread out, making the Ha Giang plateau look fresh.
