Moc Chau has emerged as a captivating destination drawing numerous visitors at the beginning of the year, thanks to its breathtaking natural landscapes.
January marks the bloom of apricot and plum blossoms, with some areas featuring cherry or peach blossoms.
Although recent prolonged rains caused significant shedding, a new wave of blossoms is expected in the coming weekends.
This 48-hour Moc Chau itinerary is curated by Mr. Tran Hai, a local photographer and tour guide, along with Mr. Lekima Hung from the Photography Academy LPA, specializing in organizing photo tours to renowned domestic and international tourist spots.
