Moc Chau has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter with mild weather and flowers and fruits all year round. In January, the plateau is green with budding tea hills, peach blossoms, plum blossoms, apricot blossoms, cherry blossoms... From mid-May, plums begin to ripen, people harvest plums and sell them to lowland traders. There are no flowers in summer, nor is it strawberry season, but this place is very suitable for picnics because of the fresh air and many outdoor activities. The persimmon season in Moc Chau starts from August to December every year. In particular, the crispy persimmon season usually comes earlier, from August to October, while from October to the end of the year is the season for astringent persimmons. The white mustard season in Moc Chau begins in November. In December, bright yellow wild sunflowers decorate the plateau. Moc Chau is nearly 200 km from Hanoi. If traveling by motorbike, you should follow the old Highway 6 because there are many beautiful scenery along the way, but you should pay attention to the steering wheel because the road is quite degraded. The journey takes about 4-5 hours. On the way, you will pass the S-shaped road in Van Ho district. Most travelers stop to admire the scenery and check-in at this soft S-shaped curve. If you take a bus, you can choose routes to Son La from My Dinh or Yen Nghia bus station, then get off at Moc Chau with a high-quality bus ticket price of about 200,000 VND. If you drive your own car, you don't need to worry too much because the road is big and easy to go despite many steep passes. Be careful, drive at the right speed and pay attention to the lane when passing. In the summer, the roads are less foggy but visibility is limited when it rains. The section that may be cloudy is the road from Thung Khe section. Moc Chau has many motels. However, to get quality accommodation during peak season, you should still call to book in advance. There are eco-lodges (with mountains, lakes, stilt houses) or homestay-style community motels. The price of a room is about 200,000 - 300,000 VND per night but there are also many motels with lower prices. Some suggested "chill" homestays are MAMA's House, Le Chalet du Lac, Fairy House Moc Chau, House By Lake, The Nordic Village, Moc Chau Retreat... Room prices range from 300,000 to 1,000,000 VND per night. To fully explore Moc Chau, you can go quickly in 2 days.

The broth is simmered from bones and vegetables, a moderate amount of milk is added to give it a milky white color and mild flavor, and corn is added for sweetness. When the hot pot begins to boil, the layer of milk on top begins to thicken, giving it a fatty and fragrant taste. This is also the time when the hot pot broth is at its most delicious. In the past two years, Moc Chau has also been famous for producing strawberries with quality not inferior to those of Japan or Korea because they are grown using Japanese technology. Winter will be the strawberry harvest season on farms with gardens filled with ripe red strawberries, sweet and sour taste, and if eaten with Moc Chau yogurt, it is very easy to become "addictive". In the summer, after plum season, there will be melon season with sweet fragrant fruits.

You need to bring enough warm clothes to ensure your health, and check your vehicle's lights before departing. Do not litter, step on people's mustard beds or climb on trees, break wild peach branches, plum branches, flowers...
