During a recent trip to Moc Chau, photographer Viet Anh took a series of Tet ao dai photos for his daughter Ella in the plum valley of Moc Chau.
"This year is hot so the first flowers bloom early. At this time, there are only a few off-season plum flowers left. Only locals who lead the way know about it and it's a bit difficult to get there, you have to travel by motorbike with the garden owner. The most beautiful and easiest time to get to the garden by car is after Lunar New Year, around October 6th - 10th, which is when the flowers are most beautiful in Na Ka plum valley," said photographer Viet Anh.
