It is inspired by this majestic paysage that similar to snows falling in Europe and also be familiar when spring comes in Moc Chau. The sweetie blossoms are “easy come easy go” only last about 2-3 weeks and mainly bloom on the Tet holiday. At that time, blossoms are everywhere from the villages to the fields, both sides of the roads, come to the small valleys in the cliffs.
Besides many blossoms, sometimes we lodge some plum fruits on the trees which create a mystical spring of this place. These fruits will be harvested from Apr to May every year, and we probably visit Moc Chau once more to join our plum festival in-which we pick fruits and eat as much as possible.
It is so easy to find many rape flower fields on the road and we also can see some mountains which create a poetic painting. And sometimes, we could meet some ethnic minority people who are friendly, lovely. Coming this area, we discover their plain and peaceful daily life, also we acknowledge about their cultural identities of each section.

The last one, I would like to introduce to you about Tay Tien (Westward) monument where saves all memories of many national heroes in a military war. They dedicated their youth, their life to liberate in our country because of protecting our country. We are the next Vietnamese generations, who always memorize about their great sacrifices. This historical place is described by the mighty poem “Westward March”.
Scattered along the frontier were graves away from home
Of those who left for battlefields without regretting their youth
Shrouded in military uniforms instead of reed mats, they returned to earth
The Ma river roared a solo – journey dirge
(Poem: Westward March – translation to English)
