Conquering the high peaks of the North
March is the ideal time for Northern mountain climbers to see flowers, especially rhododendrons. Rhododendrons have thick, straight petals, long pistils, are shrubs or trees, have thick leaves, both single and double, and bright colors such as red, pink, white and yellow. The top high mountain peaks in the North with many rhododendrons are Putaleng, Bach Moc Luong Tu, Fansipan, Ta Xua, Samu. Of which, Putaleng in Lai Chau is called "Rhododendron Paradise".
To see beautiful rhododendron flowers, visitors can choose a two-day-one-night or three-day-two-night climbing route (depending on the peak) to conquer and admire the flowers while still having time to rest and recover. Visitors should find a local guide or buy a package tour to ensure safety. In March, there are still many opportunities to hunt clouds on the peaks.

At the end of March, magnolia flowers bloom in many northern provinces such as Ha Giang, Cao Bang, Bac Giang, Ha Nam, Thai Binh, Ninh Binh and Hanoi.
