Moc Chau: Tea Hills and Cool Air

Moc Chau is a high plateau covered in tea fields. It is cooler than the lowlands, the roads are quiet, and most visitors are Vietnamese rather than foreign.

Cosa puoi fare

• Walk in the tea hills Rows of tea planted in curves over the hills. Best in early morning light.
• See the flowers White plum blossom in January and February. Yellow mustard flowers in November.
• Visit a dairy farm Moc Chau is known for milk in Vietnam, which is unusual here.
• Find the waterfalls Dai Yem waterfall is the easiest to reach.

Buono a sapersi

• Bring a jacket. Evenings are cool all year.
• The plateau is big. You need a motorbike or car to move between the spots.
• Weekends are busy with visitors from Hanoi.
