Lost in Moc Chau plum blossom forest
Thanh Dat 13:02, 2019/01/15
Exploring the Moc Chau on Lunar New Year, besides the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful scenery of white plum hills, visitors also have the opportunity to experience the customs and unique cultural beauty of the ethnic minorities here.
Moc Chau has four beautiful natural seasons, in the harmonious spring weather, white plum flowers bloom, painting a poetic picture like the wonderland that fascinates people. If you want to contemplate the beautiful scenery, you should go to Moc Chau right in the upcoming Ky Hoi (the Year of the Piglet) Lunar New Year.


 
When the first rays of light of spring just dawn, all over the land of Moc Chau will be covered with the color of pure white plum blossoming. These days, photographers are looking forward to the day to go roaming, wandering in the white plum blossom forest and touching the fragile petals like snowflakes.


 
Photographers have to rush to Moc Chau as the plum blossom only lasts about 2 to 3 weeks and often blooms in the Lunar New Year. Coming to Moc Chau these days, visitors will see plum colors everywhere on the roads from the village to the rice fields, from the two sides of the highway to small alleys deep in the cliffs. Everywhere the fragrance of plum blossoms is scented. The wind blows with a pinch, the traveler feels like he is in the world of elves.


 
If you want to immerse in the "kingdom" of white plums, Tan Lap, Phien Canh, Long Luong, Thong Cuong are the places you need to be. Along the pine forests in the village, plum blossoms bloom like the postcard scene in Europe in the snow season. Going to Bam tap waterfall in the early spring, the traveler will feel the quietness in the pure plum blossom as the dew of love song murmuring streams of love.

Traveling further, in Pa Phach, visitors will think like the "oasis" of plum blossom is forgotten, completely separated from the outside world. This place is like a fairy land with the shaggy plum trunks covered with white plum, in the dim frosted space.
The journey will lead you to Pa Khen, the capital of white plum blossoms of Moc Chau, destination of the true plum hunters. No matter how many times the visitors come here, every time they are amazed at the beauty of the scene in this place. It is simply a breeze, the fragile petals falling lightly like snow on your hair, your shoulders and scattered on the ground.
