One of the must-visit places when traveling to Moc Chau is the tea hills, with rows of tea plants so neat and green that it feels like stepping into a mysterious maze in Europe. A highlight of Moc Chau tourism is undoubtedly the heart-shaped tea hill.

The heart-shaped tea hill, also known as the “Taiwan heart tea hill,” is located about 10 km away from the town, in the small village of On, part of the Nong Truong district in Moc Chau, Son La. Named after the Taiwan tea factory's business area, although quite far from the town, it doesn't deter the footsteps of those who love this place.

Every season at Moc Chau tea hills offers different landscapes. Typically, farmers prune the large tea trees from December to February.

During this time at Moc Chau tea hills, you'll witness a deep green scene of mature tea bushes, neatly arranged on the gentle slopes. In fact, coming to Moc Chau at this time, you'll even marvel at the sight of pure white plum blossoms amidst the Northwest mountainous forests.

From March to September, with the peak in October, marks the most beautiful period for Moc Chau tea plantations. The tea plants begin to receive the first dewy rains, contributing to the vitality that causes the young tea shoots to sprout. Local people also commence harvesting the first tea buds of the year.

Visiting the tea hills during this time, you'll easily spot images of farm girls on their backs, carrying baskets filled with young tea buds, gracefully picking tea leaves. Many believe that if you can buy tea harvested in spring, it will be exceptionally delicious, fragrant, and the tea liquor will be much greener.

Late October to early December is the time when you can admire the tea flowers in the tea fields. The tea flowers, with golden stamens and white petals, bloom discreetly amidst the tea plantations. When you hold the tea flowers, you'll immediately sense a faint fragrance blending with the cool air of the Northwest weather.

At different times, Moc Chau tea hills offer travelers various, impressive experiences. Regardless of when you visit, you'll undoubtedly fall in love and be amazed by the beauty of nature here. Moc Chau tea hills are also a dazzling spot for enthusiasts of the 'Instagrammable' life.
