Moc Chau is brilliant in cherry blossom colors

SON LA - In the days leading up to Lunar New Year, Moc Chau is also brilliant with the pink color of apricot blossoms, attracting many tourists and photographers.

In recent years, cherry blossoms have been planted quite a lot in Moc Chau. Depending on the weather, the flowers can bloom early or late, but they usually bloom around the time of Tet. Starting to come to Moc Chau, along Highway 6, visitors can see the flowers blooming, signaling the arrival of spring.

Tran Hai, 29, currently a photographer, videographer and tour guide in Moc Chau, said this is the best time to come to Moc Chau to see all kinds of flowers blooming. "While apricot and plum blossoms are usually concentrated outside the district center, in large farms, visitors can see cherry blossoms right on the streets of the central area," Hai said.

This is a row of cherry blossom trees taken in mid-January at the square of Moc Chau District Administrative Center.

In addition to the above locations, flowers are also blooming in some places such as Love Mountain Street, Tea Village 69 (photo), Ban Mon Lake, attracting many tourists, especially young people who are passionate about taking photos.

Hai said that Moc Chau cherry blossoms originated from Da Lat or Japan, and were planted a lot throughout Moc Chau 3-4 years ago. In October, the trees started to turn yellow and lose all their leaves, leaving bare branches. By mid-December, they started to show signs of blooming.

The flowers bloom in clusters, 5 petals, thin and light pink. The flowers usually bloom for about a month. This year the flowers will bloom beautifully for the next 2-3 weeks. However, if there is cold rain, the beauty of the flowers will be affected.
