(Vietnam Today) - Travelers to Moc Chau in a wintry day will be stupefied by the stunning transformation of foamy and pure white plum blossoms that float away between latitudes of the Northwestern highlands. The finest blooming time of plum blossoms only lasts two to three weeks, and coincident with the Lunar New Year. As Moc Chau enter the plum blossom, visitors are treated to not just the oceanic ambience of sprawling and sprinkling branches, but also the buzzing spring vibe of Hmong communities in the Northwest.

NECESSARY TIPS FOR VISITORS TO MOC CHAU
Moc Chau weather incorporates all four seasons in a single day. By night, the temperature plummets and is thus very cold, but it grows quite warm in the morning. Beside thick jackets to shelter yourselves, visitors should also prepare thin casual wear to facilitate your movements. Soft and fitting snickers are recommended to put your feet at ease all the time.
Visitors who opt for homestay units around ethnic hamlets should pay attention to bringing another thin blanket or thick clothing, as ethnic houses are holed and well exposed to freezing chills.
