Moc Chau Plateau is approximately 208km from the capital city Hanoi. You can travel by motorbike or bus, but it's best to take the bus. Because the weather in the days leading up to Tet is very cold, the roads are slippery and not safe for motorbikes. If you take the bus, you can rent a motorbike here to explore.
