Bất cứ thời điểm nào trong năm, Mộc Châu (Sơn La) vẫn luôn được bao bọc bởi sắc xanh đầy sức sống của những đồi chè. Hơn 60 năm “ươm mầm, bén rễ” trên mảnh đất cao nguyên, qua nhiều bước thăng trầm, cây chè không chỉ là đặc sản giúp bà con phát triển kinh tế mà còn thu hút du khách thập phương tới thưởng ngoạn, check-in, góp phần xây dựng hình ảnh du lịch Mộc Châu.

Visitors can roam around on motorbikes, go through winding curves to run from hill to valley, admiring the magical transformation of the natural landscape. The scent of tea wafted in the air.

Moc Chau has 4 most beautiful tea hills for tourists who want to visit: Tan Lap tea hill 1, 2, 3 and heart tea hill. Each location has its own beauty, attracting photography enthusiasts and tourists.

In the summer months, visitors to Moc Chau can admire the bustling tea harvest scene of farmers and farm workers.

In the middle of July, photographer Hoang Duong (Hanoi) went to Moc Chau to compose a set of photos of tea harvesting. The place Mr. Duong chose was the Sugar Sub-Region - Heart Tea Hill, about 7km from the town center.

“Different from the hustle and bustle in the district center, this place has a peaceful, gentle and romantic beauty. I've been to Moc Chau many times, but this is the first time I've seen people picking tea so busy," Duong said.

Tea farm workers or local farmers usually start work at 7 am. Their hands are rhythmic and quick. On average, each kg of tea they will receive 3,000 dong. Quick pickers will get 300,000 VND/day.

The two most suitable times for photographing tea hills are mid-March to mid-April and mid-July to mid-August every year - when the young buds sprout, the tea hill changes color and brings new vitality.

Mr. Duong spent 3 days walking around following tea pickers to "hunt" many different impressive moments. Most of them are high camera angles to see the "giant" tea hill, large, hidden and dotted with people.

Visiting the tea hill, visitors can borrow baskets of farmers to take pictures, learn about their tea picking or participate in agricultural experience activities.

After picking, tea will be put into baskets, ready to be cleaned, dried and packaged.

Visitors should come to the tea hill in the early morning or late afternoon, when the weather is cool, pleasant, and the scenery is the most poetic.

Moc Chau Plateau is a land favored by nature with very suitable soil and climate conditions for tea plants to grow. Currently, Moc Chau district has over 2,100 hectares of tea, the annual output of fresh buds is over 25,000 tons. Along with that, there are more than 10 companies, enterprises and factories processing fresh bud tea, with a capacity of about 300 tons/day; creating jobs for over 3,000 households in raw material areas and about 600 regular workers in companies and enterprises.

Currently, Moc Chau has built a conservation plan for grasslands and tea hills to serve tourism.
