“Moc Chau has a cool climate, beautiful nature with many pristine, natural tourist attractions. If you only spend 3 days and 2 nights, you cannot explore all of this place,” Nguyen Thu Giang (21 years old, Hanoi) just returned from a trip to Hoa Binh - Moc Chau shared.
Cloud hunting in the sea and sky of Hang Kia - Pa Co
The first destination of Giang Thu's journey is Hang Kia - Pa Co (Hoa Binh), which is currently emerging as an ideal cloud hunting spot in the North. There is no need to climb Fansipan peak or jostle in Ta Xua, visitors can completely enjoy the breath of the sea of clouds right in Hoa Binh. Pa Co tourist destination is located about 130km from Hanoi by road, taking about 3 to 5 hours to travel. This place is mostly inhabited by Mong people, with cultural diversity and traditional values being preserved and conserved.
This land is endowed by nature with the typical beauty of the Northwest highlands, towering mountains and primeval forests combined with the cold air typical of the mountains. Looking down from above, the eyes are enveloped by the lush green of the mountains and forests, with the Hmong roofs looming in the misty space. The landscape here always inspires photographers who love to hunt for photos.
This place has emerged as a new cloud hunting spot in the North.
Immerse yourself in the clouds and sky
“We stopped by here at 11am and saw a sea of clouds in the middle of the afternoon, which was unbelievable. We joked that the clouds were hunting us, not that we needed to hunt the clouds. What a good luck,” Thu Giang recalled with a laugh.
The moment you climb to your destination, see all the beautiful things that are revealed, breathe the fresh air of nature, then you will realize that all your efforts were completely worth it.
Relax among the flower hills of Xom Mung
From a remote village, Mung hamlet has gradually built itself into a community tourism destination, attracting visitors with its flower-filled hills. Mung hamlet is located in Hop Phong commune, Cao Phong district, Hoa Binh province, and the flower hill is only about 9km from National Highway 6, the route towards Mai Chau and Moc Chau.
Overwhelmed by the beauty of the flower hill in Mung hamlet
With a cool, fresh climate, this place creates favorable conditions for green terraced fields and hills of sparkling golden flowers, creating an extremely poetic scene.
Thu Giang said the road was not very difficult because it was mostly concrete, only the road up to the flower hill was a bit steep and bumpy.
Famous far and wide Mu Nau plum valley
Initially, Thu Giang and her friends planned to go to Na Ka plum valley, but because there were many tourists, the group changed direction to Mu Nau valley. Thu Giang shared that although they had to climb a steep slope, this valley was quieter, had many delicious plums, and every tree was full of big, purple fruits.
"Just sit under the tree, reach up and you can pick plump plums. If you want to avoid crowds, I think you should go to Mu Nau. In addition, on Mu Nau there is also a cafe with a very attractive panoramic view of the town," Thu Giang said.
Raise your hand and you can pick sweet, crunchy plums.
Mu Nau is blessed with a climate that is especially favorable for growing plums, making the plums here large, juicy and sweet and crunchy. Because of this, Mu Nau plums have become the top choice for tourists when buying as gifts, imbued with the breath of this land.
Fairy Waterfall, the heart of Moc Chau mountains and forests
Nang Tien Waterfall is also known as May Waterfall or Chieng Khoa Waterfall. This waterfall is associated with the legend of two beautiful young women who helped the local people learn how to farm, build houses, dance xoè, play the khen, pi, etc. To show their gratitude and admiration for their talents and virtues, the local people honored them as fairies. After their death, the local people built a temple to worship them, named Nang Bang - Nang Muong Temple, or Ba Chua Son Lam Temple.
No matter the season, Nang Tien waterfall still has a wonderful beauty. Located in the middle of a primeval forest covered with natural vegetation, this place still retains its pristine and wild beauty. Coming here, visitors will be captivated by the beautiful natural landscape, carrying within it the simple, peaceful beauty of Nang Tien waterfall.
