Dreamy Plum Blossom Garden Plum blossoms are beautiful and flutter like a young girl Rate 5 stars

In the Vietnamese countryside, the puppy's mental state is far better than that of Chinese women. There are many beautiful terraces and mountain roads in Moc Chau, Vietnam, which are great places for motorcycle travel. My landlord here has a dog. When we went to the mountain top cafe, it led the way in front and frequently looked back to see if we were following. When we hid from the rain, it also hid from the rain. When it was tired of playing, it nestled under our legs and licked its fur. It was busy catching bugs in the flowers. When it looked up, there were several purple flowers on its head. It was so cute with a head full of floral fragrance, digging around in nature. The puppy's mental state makes people feel warm inside. Although I did my homework before coming, I couldn't help but sigh when I arrived. The countryside here is really primitive. Now is also the most comfortable autumn in northern Vietnam, with a temperature of more than 20 degrees, which is not hot at all. A log cabin-style double room with a private bathroom costs only 90 yuan a day, and the internet speed is very fast. I really know how to choose. I feel like I need to lie down here for a few more days, breathe in the oxygen of nature, and heal my body and mind.

#vietnam Mộc Châu, located in Son La province, is known for its beautiful landscapes, and the plum blossoms are a highlight. The plum trees bloom between late January and early February, lasting until the end of February. The exact time depends on the weather. Suggested Itinerary: Day 1: Drive from Hanoi to Mộc Châu (about 4 hours). You can take a limousine service or drive yourself. If you drive, you can stop at Vân Hồ to see the white and yellow rape flowers. Stay near Mu Náu Plum Valley. Day 2: Get up early and hire a motorbike with a driver to visit Mu Náu Plum Valley. The road is steep and off-road, so a driver is recommended. The valley has many good spots for photos, especially when the plum trees are in full bloom. In the afternoon, visit the Ang Village Pine Forest. Day 3: If you like hiking, go to Pha Luông Peak. If not, visit Na Ka Plum Valley. In the afternoon, you can check out the Bạch Long Glass Bridge or other local attractions. Day 4: Relax in the morning and then drive back to Hanoi.

#familytrips2024 The name is called Tea Hill, of course, there is only tea here. When developing ideas and posing for photos, there won't be too much creativity because the scenery is the same. You should be creative in how to take pictures with different angles. When you come out of the tea hill, you should buy Cham Cheo seasoning or sweet tea at the shops next door. Great landscape of tea farm. Taste the tea before buy. Highly recommend to visit when you're in moc chau.

#familytrips2024 Vietnam has got many amazing destinations in which Na Ka Valley is one of my favourite ones. We were surprised by this giant plum valley both in blooming time and harvest time. You will have to pay a fee by 30.000 vnd to enter any garden in the valley and free to visit and eat the fruits. The landscape is breath-taking, especially new booming plum blossoms.

Moc Chau is a plateau located in the northern mountainous area of Vietnam. With the variation of its climate and the short distance from Hanoi, Moc Chau becomes a well-known destination for tourist in almost every season of the year. The highest temperature recorded in Moc Chau is 32oC and the lowest is approximate 10oC. The average temperature here ranges from 16oC to 29oC. The most beautiful season of white plum blossom in Moc Chau marks from the end of January to the early of February. The plum blossom lasts for a short time about just two or three weeks before giving its place for plum fruits. At this time, Moc Chau has a stunning beauty with all-mountain slopes covered of white plum flowers,and other beautiful flowers. Plum blossom can be seen everywhere including roads, from villages to hills and also along two sides of the highways. #vietnam #foodie #deliciousfood

White Stone Pass was originally a limestone mountain area, in the process of breaking the mountain to open the way, the rocks from above fell down to create a white color throughout the mountains and hills. This place attracts many backpackers because of the winding pass, winding through the mountains like a silk strip crossing between the clouds and the sky. Coming to this place, you will be free to adventure between the road and the lively valley with many rustic and peaceful villages appearing one after another. #urbanexplorer

Traveling to Moc Chau, you should not miss the opportunity to visit Happy Land tourist area, one of the most famous places to visit and play in the Northwest. Visiting Happy Land, visitors will admire the dreamlike flower beds lying in the valley, transform into pretty and shy ethnic girls, explore all the features of the Northwest highlands. #MyTripVlog

Na Ka Plum field is most beautiful from late January to mid-February. At this time, plum blossoms are in full bloom covering the whole valley, creating a fanciful natural picture. Standing from above, the more you can feel the beauty that Mother Nature has bestowed on Moc Chau land. It can be said that Na Ka Plum is a fairyland located right on the human world. The poetic, shimmering and fanciful beauty of plum blossoms stretching endlessly not only creates a scene like a fairyland but also silently holds the footsteps of many people. #MyTripVlog #urbanexplorer

 I went on a trip to Moc Chau, Son La Province. I came later than usual, so Hanoi felt even hotter, so I went on an emergency vacation^^ First of all, the distance on the map is 180km, but considering the bad road conditions, you should set aside 4~5 hours to leave.  I tried the sleeper bus this time, but to tell you the conclusion, I recommend just taking a 5~6-seater limousine. First of all, the price is the same at 250,000 dong (about 14,000 won), but it takes a long time and is quite uncomfortable. ㅠ I'm 176cm tall,,, and I can't stretch my legs out... The width is narrow, so I have to keep mindful of the movements of the person next to me...  It was supposed to depart from My Dinh Terminal at 11:00, but it actually departed at 11:45 when people got on, and it was 4:30 when I got off at Muong Thanh Hotel... I took a limousine when I returned to Hanoi, and it was much more comfortable, arriving in 3 and a half hours... Of course, if this limousine only drove cars, it would take less than 3 hours.  In conclusion, going by car is the best... I thought it would be nice to have a car when I arrived. However, the road conditions are worse than the road to Sapa, and there are a lot of trucks, so you have to drive carefully. It's not a great view, but I wanted to stop by a place called mai chau top view while passing by, and if you drive, you can do that too^^  It's right in the middle of Hanoi to Moc Chau, so it would be perfect to take a break here. I just looked at the scenery from the car while passing by and swallowed my regret... Of course, don't expect iced Americano ㅎㅎ  The first tourist attraction we finally arrived at was the Thác Dải Yếm waterfall. Maybe because it rained a lot, there was so much water that it was scary. But I thought the rain was cool and nice. When the rain stopped, it got a little hotter, so it wasn't good to walk around. If you walk a little further up from the waterfall, you'll come across a small glass bridge. The entrance fee to the waterfall is 40,000 VND, but there's a separate entrance fee for the glass bridge. 100,000 dong (6,000 won)^^ Before climbing the bridge, they rent traditional costumes like this, and the price is 40,000 dong (2,500 won).  The next place we went to was Bạch Long Glass Bridge (White Dragon). Actually, it's not that far from the city, but since I had time and it was only 10 minutes from the waterfall, I decided to just go around it all in one day. I was worried that the service would be a bit lacking since it was built not long ago, but Vietnam is Vietnam after all ㅎㅎ  Once you enter the entrance, there is a Guinness World Records certification photo like this. It means that it is the world's longest glass bridge (632m). The entrance fee is also 650,000 dong (40,000 won), which is 6 times more^^ However, it is very inconvenient for those with impaired legs to use, so if you are with your parents, it is better to be satisfied with the glass bridge above the waterfall.  It's a bit expensive, but it's worth going. This is also the purpose of this trip to Mokjou^^ However, rather than going to two glass bridges in one day, it would be better to divide it into two days and take it easy~  If you compare it to the waterfall glass bridge photo above, there is definitely a difference in height ㅎㅎ Even after crossing the bridge, there is a long course like a walking course. I think the organizers wanted to create a tourist course that you can spend about 2~3 hours on.  It's just right up to here, but the next part is the problem. After that, you have to walk down the stairs for about 20~30 minutes, and I think you have to wear sneakers, and most people get tired here. Actually, I was just a little hot, but I think the elderly would have a very hard time here.  When you go down, you go to the electric car, go to the rainbow course on the upper left, ride the tires once, and then go to the store near the central swimming pool, and you can get a free drink with the coupon you received when you entered. However, it seems like it would be more satisfying if you come back in 1~2 years.^^ There are still many places being prepared...  The train above is also cool, but it seems to be unfinished.. Next is accommodation. I think you can stay one day at Family 64 mộc châu and one day at Phoenix Resort (both 40,000~70,000 won). However, the room condition and meals are very disappointing. I got bitten by a flea or tick at Phoenix Resort, and I'm still suffering from it ㅠ ㅠ  Since Mok Chau's concept is nature-friendly camping, it's good to enjoy nature in a cool way, but the accommodation and meals are a bit disappointing. There aren't many options other than BBQ and salmon restaurants. Hotel food is also not very satisfying ㅎㅎ Mường Thanh Holiday Moc Chau Hotel has better rooms and meals, but this place is not Moc Chau camping concept^^  It's a great place to let your kids loose especially if you have kids ㅎㅎ I think it's good to just lie down on that wooden bench and look at the sky. If you have one more day and have the energy, you can add Hang Dơi Cave to your schedule, but I just went to rest so I didn't go. My body still itches... but if you want to escape the hot Hanoi and go somewhere, I recommend a trip to Moc Chau.^^ 

🚌Getting There - take the bus at My Dinh Bus Station in Hanoi or hire a private car; get there in about 4 to 5 hours 👀Attractions - Cầu kính Bạch Long (or the White Dragon Glass Bridge), recognized by the Guiness World Record as the longest glass-bottomed bridge in yhe world 😴Hotels - this attraction is also home to a must-stay accommodation in Vietnam, known as The Bullet Train Hotel in Moc Chau providing a unique and futuristic kind of luxury dormitel experience. If the idea of sharing bathrooms is not your cup of tea, you may also choose other room types with awesome interior designs. 🥂Food & Restaurants - you don’t need to actually go out of the resort as this place has its own restaurant, not just one but two. One serves the more traditional Vietnamese stuff but you could also opt for fast food value meals. 🛍️Shopping - like any other resorts, it has its own souvenir shop right next to their fast food restaurant where you could buy locally designed items 👣Footnotes - Just went there to see the Guiness World Record holder but I found a bunch of things to do inside the resort as well as things to see in this town. check out my next posts for more💋 #tripblazers #staycation #bucketlistreboot #mountainresort #guinessworldrecord #vietnam
