May, cherishing memories of the Moc Chau apricot season

Situated in Son La province, Moc Chau is renowned as a beautiful plateau with sprawling tea hills. Convenient transportation, a cool climate year-round, and a diverse ecosystem make Moc Chau the preferred destination for short vacations in the Northern region.

Recognized as the largest apricot orchard in the country, around this time, apricots in the Moc Chau region of Son La begin their harvest season. Blessed with favorable weather and soil conditions, Moc Chau apricots are known for their high quality, crispness, fragrance, and juiciness compared to apricots in other areas.

Moc Chau apricots are petite, incredibly crisp with a distinctively tart and refreshing taste that lingers on the palate. Simply dipping Moc Chau apricots in a bit of chili salt is enough to make many people crave for more. For a more sophisticated taste, thinly slice them and sprinkle with chili powder and sugar for instant delight.

In Moc Chau, apricots are most concentrated in the area bordering Tan Lap commune and the town of Moc Chau Farm, where apricot hills stretch along both sides of the road, leading to Na Ka valley and Pa Khen 1 village. This is undoubtedly the perfect time to visit Moc Chau, joyfully skipping through orchards, personally picking delicious apricots ripe on the trees. However, keep in mind that if you want to pick apricots, you need to contact the orchard owners located at the foot of the valley. The hosts here are very enthusiastic and hospitable, so you don't have to worry.
