Lost in the paradise of Moc Chau in November.

Moc Chau is a vast and beautiful plateau in the northern mountainous region, located 200 km from Hanoi. In November, when the cold winds arrive, Moc Chau is adorned with the diverse colors of endless fields of white mustard flowers or the green of tea hills stretching out in the early morning mist. It has become an ideal destination for those who love travel, photography, and flower hunting.

At this time of year, the weather in Moc Chau is cold and dry, with many high-altitude areas experiencing intense cold, sometimes even with drizzle. Temperatures are always at least 3-5 degrees lower than in Hanoi and quite biting. However, in return, visitors can admire the wild natural scenery blended with mystical fog. The cold makes outdoor activities more enjoyable. Visitors can freely run, jump, and enjoy the fresh, cool air without worrying about sweating.

Where to go in Moc Chau?

• Lost in the rhythm of the white blossoms of the rapeseed flower season.

Unlike in Hanoi, where flower fields are confined to small plots, in Moc Chau, flowers are planted all over hillsides, stretching from one valley to the foot of the next, covering vast areas with the pristine white of mustard flowers. Travel enthusiasts often share tips on amazing places to admire the beauty of mustard flowers, such as the pine forest of Ban Ang, the villages of Ba Phach 1, 2, and 3, and the Ngu Dong Ban On area. However, the most beautiful and famous is still the area behind the pine forest of Ban Ang, with dozens of hectares of mustard flowers in full bloom, where visitors can admire rows of mustard flowers stretching as far as the eye can see, from the foot of the hill to the top…

• Wild sunflowers bloom brilliantly across a corner of the sky.

• Strawberry farm in the pine forest of Bản Áng

The lovely strawberries, once thought to be found only in the dreamy city of Da Lat, now boast vast orchards of lush green plants and ripe fruit in Moc Chau. Moc Chau strawberries were brought from Da Lat and Japan for experimental cultivation before 2010. Both local and Japanese individuals have poured their hearts, souls, and resources into this endeavor, hoping that these juicy, fragrant red strawberries will finally appear on Moc Chau soil.

Still within the pine forest, visitors can camp or rent tandem bicycles to explore the forest, stroll along the lake to enjoy the fresh air, admire the scenery at sunset and sunrise, and take stunning photos.

• Lush green tea hills

Viewed from above, the tea plantations resemble lush green meadows. Standing amidst the tea hills, visitors will surely feel small in the face of nature. This place is perfect for tourists to relax and unwind. The best time to admire the tea hills is at dawn or dusk.

What to eat in Moc Chau?
