Nearly 200km from Hanoi, Moc Chau is not only a destination on the tourist map but also a beautiful natural picture, especially charming in spring, when plum blossoms cover the plateau in white.
Moc Chau in the first days of the year seems to wear a pure white coat, woven from tens of thousands of plum blossoms. Not just a flower, plum blossoms in Moc Chau carry within themselves a pure, gentle beauty, but are also strong and resilient, just like the people here.
Moc Chau is becoming a tourist attraction thanks to favorable weather and plum blossom season.
Plum blossom season in Moc Chau usually lasts from late January to early March. At this time, the whole plateau seems to light up, filled with the white color of plum blossoms. Visitors coming here can not only admire the stunning beauty of this flower but also immerse themselves in the fresh, peaceful atmosphere of the mountains and forests.
Moc Chau in plum blossom season not only has the pure white color of plum blossoms but also has many other interesting things to discover. Tourists can visit the green tea hills, peach and plum gardens full of fruit, or the villages of ethnic minorities with unique cultural features.
Since the beginning of February, thousands of tourists have flocked here to admire the brilliant beauty of nature…
This year, plum blossoms in Moc Chau bloomed brilliantly right on the Lunar New Year holiday. Therefore, before and after Tet, many tourists from all over the place flocked here to admire the plum blossoms blooming, showing off their pure white color.
According to the Department of Culture and Information of Moc Chau town, from the 3rd day of Tet until now, Moc Chau has welcomed more than 200,000 tourists to visit and check-in plum blossom season. Every day of the week, the number of visitors fluctuates around 10,000, but on weekends, this number doubles.
In spring, when the weather is still chilly, plum blossoms bloom, creating a romantic and poetic scene.
However, Moc Chau town currently has about 300 accommodation establishments - not enough to serve the number of visitors doubled compared to the same period last year. Many tourists tend to book rooms late, even arriving in Moc Chau to find rooms, leading to a lack of accommodation facilities.
In addition to the day tour, some tourists choose other tours to Moc Chau to see plum blossoms. The price of a 2-day, 1-night tour ranges from 1.1 million to 1.8 million VND, including transportation, meals and accommodation. Depending on the tour price, tourists will stay in communal stilt houses (10-40 people) and hotels near Moc Chau plum gardens for convenience in traveling and taking photos.
This is considered one of the most beautiful flower seasons of the year in the northern mountainous region, attracting tens of thousands of tourists from all over.
Along with Moc Chau, Ha Giang is also "hot" at the beginning of the year. Right on the occasion of Lunar New Year 2025, a new and interesting Ha Giang tourism trend has officially launched, bringing visitors unique experiences and memorable memories: The journey to "hunt" for stamps.
This is a creative idea, bringing unique experiences and memorable memories for visitors when exploring this beautiful land.
This is a creative idea, combining discovery travel with the element of collection, creating an exciting and surprising journey of experience. Instead of simply visiting destinations, visitors will be challenged, discover new things and collect unique "stamps" that represent familiar places.
To join the "stamp hunting" journey, visitors will be equipped with a special book, called "Ha Giang Passport". This book will be the "companion" of visitors throughout the journey to explore Ha Giang. At each destination, visitors will search for "stamps" placed in different locations. After finding them, visitors will stamp their "Ha Giang Passport".
This trend was launched when Ha Giang was entering its most beautiful season of the year. This place is majestic with its mountainous border scenery, peach and plum blossoms blooming fragilely in the wind.
At the stamping tables, visitors have the right to decide how to stamp their own book, whether horizontal or vertical, creating uniqueness and no two books are alike. The journey of "hunting" for stamps is not only a game but also an opportunity for visitors to explore famous destinations in Ha Giang, such as Lung Cu flagpole, Vuong family mansion, Ma Pi Leng pass, highland market,...
Ha Giang is not only famous for its majestic natural landscapes but also for its unique cultural features, expressed through 40 community tourism cultural villages. Names such as Nam Dam, Pa Vi, Tha village, and Lo Lo Chai have become symbols of sustainable tourism development in Ha Giang, promising to bring visitors authentic and rich cultural experiences.
In order to meet the diverse needs of tourists, Ha Giang has constantly innovated and experimented with new tourism products. Spiritual tourism, adventure sports activities such as car racing, off-road motorbikes, paragliding, kayaking, and trekking in Tu San canyon are gradually becoming popular, contributing to enriching the tourism picture of the province.
