Detailed Itinerary: Discovering Moc Chau in 3 Days & 2 Nights
Day 1: Departing Hanoi, Reaching the Moc Chau Plateau
Day’s Theme: The Journey to the Green Prairies
Morning (Approx. 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM): Our adventure begins! Our professional guide and comfortable vehicle will pick you up from your designated meeting point in Hanoi. Waving goodbye to the capital, we’ll head northwest along National Highway 6. You’ll witness a spectacular change in scenery, from the fertile Red River Delta to the majestic limestone mountains of Hoa Binh province.
Stop at Thung Khe Pass (White Rock Pass): We’ll make a short stop here. This pass is famous for its stunning landscape, which resembles a snow-covered European scene, created by the white limestone cliffs. It’s a fantastic opportunity to capture impressive photos and sample local treats like boiled corn and hot bamboo-tube rice.
Noon: The group will enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in Mai Chau town, savoring characteristic dishes of the Thai ethnic people.
Afternoon (Approx. 2:30 PM – 5:00 PM): Welcome to Moc Chau! After checking into your hotel and taking a short rest, we will start exploring the symbol of this plateau:
The Heart-Shaped Tea Hill & Moc Chau Farm: Our vehicle will take you to the vast, verdant expanse of the tea hills. The most iconic spot is the Heart-Shaped Tea Hill, a masterpiece crafted by the skilled hands of local farm workers. It’s not just a romantic photo spot but also a symbol of the vitality and love people have for this highland. Our guide will share insights into the history of Moc Chau Farm and the process of creating its famous Oolong tea.
Evening (Approx. 6:30 PM onwards): You’ll be treated to a dinner featuring Moc Chau’s specialties, such as sautéed veal, stream fish, and local cải mèo vegetables.

Day’s Theme: Valleys of Blossoms & Feats of Wonder
Morning (Approx. 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM): After breakfast, a day full of exciting experiences awaits.
Na Ka Plum Valley or Mu Nau Plum Valley: Depending on the season, we will take you to one of Moc Chau’s most beautiful plum valleys. If visiting in spring (January-February), the entire valley is submerged in the pure white of plum blossoms, creating a heavenly scene. In summer (April-June), you’ll get to hand-pick ripe, juicy plums straight from the trees—a truly “one-of-a-kind” experience.
Dai Yem Waterfall (The Pink Blouse Waterfall): Continuing our journey, we visit a waterfall as soft and gentle as a fairy’s silk ribbon. Our guide will recount the local legend of a girl’s blouse (yếm) that saved a young man from a flood, giving the waterfall its romantic name.
Noon: We will have lunch at a local restaurant.
Afternoon (Approx. 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM): Prepare to test your courage and admire a modern architectural marvel.
Bach Long Glass Bridge: This is an unmissable destination! Holding the Guinness World Record for the longest glass-bottomed bridge, Bach Long (White Dragon) stretches across a deep valley between two mountains. Walking on the transparent bridge, you’ll feel like you’re floating in the clouds, with a full, breathtaking view of the majestic Northwestern mountains. It is a thrilling and visually spectacular experience.
Evening: We return to the hotel to relax. Tonight’s dinner is an opportunity to delve deeper into the local culture. We can arrange a small cultural exchange program (depending on the group size) with the local Thai people, where you can join in the traditional bamboo dance (nhảy sạp) and enjoy corn wine.
Day 3: Indigenous Culture & Farewell to the Plateau
Day’s Theme: Flavors of the Highlands & A Goodbye Kiss
Morning (Approx. 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM): This morning is dedicated to exploring Moc Chau’s cultural beauty and unique local products.
Ban Ang Pine Forest: A romantic landscape reminiscent of a “miniature Da Lat,” with a serene lake and pine trees whispering in the wind. You can take a leisurely walk, cycle, or simply sit back and soak in the tranquility. This area is also home to a Thai ethnic community, giving us a chance to learn about their stilt house architecture and way of life.
Visit Chimi Strawberry Farm (seasonal) or a Dairy Farm: Moc Chau’s temperate climate is perfect for growing strawberries and raising dairy cows. Depending on the season, we will take you to visit a farm where you can learn about the production process and purchase fresh products like yogurt, fresh milk, and milk candies as souvenirs.
Noon: After checking out of the hotel, the group will enjoy a final lunch in Moc Chau.
Afternoon (Expected 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM): Our vehicle will depart for the journey back to Hanoi.
