Tourists are fascinated by the beauty of Moc Chau

Ms. Nguyen Thuy Hoa (Hanoi) said it only takes 4 hours by car to reach Moc Chau plateau (Son La). In the typical weather of the Northwest, the cold of about 6 degrees with a little morning dew quickly dissipates when the sun rises.

“The cold of Moc Chau plateau makes anyone feel the special weather of the Northwest in winter.

Anyone who comes here is fascinated by the beauty of the mountains and forests and nature here. Moc Chau is majestic and stands out with the brilliant pink color of peach blossoms and the pure white color of plum blossoms in the main season" - Ms. Hoa happily shared.

Overwhelmed by the rose garden, Mr. Tran Manh Hung (Bac Giang) and his family of 15 people arrived in Moc Chau on the afternoon of January 17.

He said this was the first time he had been to Moc Chau in the season when peach blossoms, plum blossoms and rose gardens were at their most brilliant. There were three hundred rose bushes, each one laden with fruit.

Mr. Hung also said that he rarely takes personal photos, but he and many others have taken many beautiful photos.

Not only taking photos, admiring the poetic beauty of nature, enjoying the peace, many tourists also buy flowers and Moc Chau specialties such as dried persimmons, sticky rice... to eat and celebrate Tet.

Depending on the type of peach and its age, such as rock peach or old peach, the price is more expensive, but for only a few dozen to 100,000 VND, you can buy a very beautiful peach or plum branch.

Farmers' income increases thanks to tourists checking in

Mr. Nguyen Huy Ty, owner of 2 hectares of plum garden in Na Ka plum valley (Moc Chau - Son La), said that in previous years, farmers here only grew plums for the fruit. The profits were very low. But in the past 3-4 years, the income from Moc Chau plum trees of local people here has increased significantly.

“From December, especially near Tet, when peach and plum blossoms are at their most beautiful, tourists come to Moc Chau in great numbers. On weekends near Tet, about 350-400 visitors come to the plum garden every day to take photos and admire peach and plum blossoms. The entrance fee is 30,000 VND/person, and if you go in a group of more than 10 people, it is 25,000 VND/person. Thanks to that, people’s income is better,” said Mr. Ty.

Ms. Giang Thi Sang - a vendor in Na Ka plum valley - said that Tet is less than 10 days away. So tourists not only come to see peach blossoms and take pictures but also buy Moc Chau specialties.

Every day she sells dozens of peach branches, plum branches and various green vegetables with a total income of about 1-1.2 million VND.
