Moc Chau Highland - Son La Province

Background

Staying at the altitude of 1,050 meters, Moc Chau is a large highland stretching around 80 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide with 16,000 hectares of grass field. Moc Chau is said to be the place where there are the most of tourism resources of Son La and the mountainous area at the North-Western and Northern regions of Vietnam. The very special climate of Moc Chau is one of those resources. In the middle of Moc Chau Highland, there exists a sub-climate area with a cool summer with the average temperature of 20 Celsius degrees and a dry winter that make it different from other regions.

 Visiting Moc Chau at any time, either in spring with sunlight spreading on apricot forest or winter with foggy white mountains, travelers all have good impression about this land through a plenty of historical relics. They are Son Moc Huong Grotto, Chien Vien Pagoda, Phieng Luong Temple, and cultural villages of small ethnic groups like Mong and Dao people in Van Ho area where you can find out folksy songs and dancing along with special dishes and handcraft fine arts products engraved with their long-standing cultural characters.

From the three-way crossing gate Pa Hang, going by auto about four kilometers, following the main path or the way along the spring, we can reach the confluence of the two springs where there is a grandiose waterfall named Dai Yem. The legend had it that this fall is the brassiere of the girl saving a boy from the flood. Although lying lower than the path on the ground, the two waterfalls fall down from the height of 100 meters; one side is divided into nine layers and the other is divided into five layers. Those two waterfalls stay far from each other at the distance of 200 meters and there is a plain ground which makes convenience for tourists' gathering.

Coming to the immense grassland Moc Chau which is full of grass and flowers, people can find peace for their souls and love in life.
