Take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life, pack your backpack and hit the road for experiences that can only be had in the cold season.
A corner of Sa Pa.
Discover Sapa winter on top of the clouds
Sa Pa ( Lao Cai ) in the cold season always surprises visitors with the floating beauty of the sea of clouds and terraced fields immersed in the morning mist. The journey to conquer Fansipan by cable car, trekking through Cat Cat, Lao Chai, Ta Van... or visiting ethnic minority villages all leave unforgettable impressions in the hearts of visitors.
On cold days, you can seek out the Red Dao people's leaf bath or herbal steam bath services to experience a winter imbued with the scent of the highlands.
From Hanoi , visitors can travel by train or sleeper bus to Sa Pa. There are many accommodation options, from valley-view resorts with warm rooms and wooden bathtubs to homestays with local touches.
When night falls, take some time to stroll to the night market, enjoy fragrant dishes or sip a cup of warm corn wine in the chilly air typical of the land in the clouds.
Moc Chau - White plateau
Moc Chau rapeseed flowers.
When the cold months come, Moc Chau (Son La) begins to attract tourists. The scenery here is as beautiful as a painting with misty mornings covering the tea hills, white mustard flowers and apricot flowers blooming in the villages...
Pha Luong Peak is always an ideal meeting place for cloud hunters, while Ban Ang pine forest offers a quiet space for cycling, rowing or walking under the straight pine rows.
Visitors can also visit farms to pick greenhouse strawberries, enjoy tea or take photos capturing the unique beauty of winter in the highlands.
From Hanoi, it only takes a few hours by car along Highway 6 to reach Moc Chau, a familiar route but seems more beautiful in the cold season.
In Ang village, Pa Phach or Nong Truong town, visitors can choose resorts that have added heating systems for glass rooms overlooking the tea hills.
Winter cuisine here is a harmonious combination of the sweetness of fried veal, the light taste of grilled stream fish and the fatty aroma of milk hotpot...
Immense Ba Be Lake
Ba Be Lake surface is as smooth as a mirror.
Ba Be (Thai Nguyen) is always beautiful, but it seems that the cold season makes this place even more special. The turquoise water is as calm as a mirror, sometimes covered with a thin layer of mist, and the limestone mountains reflect on the lake surface, creating a vast, poetic scene.
At destinations such as Puong Cave, Dau Dang Waterfall, An Ma Temple, etc., tourist activities still take place regularly, while kayak tours on the calm winter lake bring a new and poetic feeling.
To get to Ba Be, visitors can take a bus from Hanoi to Cho Ra and then continue along the short route to the lake. This route is easy to travel and quite convenient for a weekend trip.
Staying in a Tay stilt house in Pac Ngoi or Coc Toc village will help you feel more clearly the local lifestyle. Hot meals with grilled fish, five-color sticky rice, wild vegetables, etc.; evenings gathered around the fire, drinking some wine made from leaves amidst the sound of the mountain wind calling the season, all will make visitors remember forever.
Binh Lieu - land of wind and clouds
Binh Lieu (Quang Ninh) is also an attractive destination for tourists in winter, when fog covers the hillsides and the wind blows from the border mountain range. The road up to the "dinosaur spine" at milestone 1305 is always attractive to trekking enthusiasts, especially when clouds hover over the stone steps, looking like a vivid movie scene.
Dao Thanh Phan or Ta Pan villages have a quiet beauty this season. Wooden houses are hidden among the clouds and mountains, inside that cozy space are gentle people welcoming visitors with hot cups of tea with the flavor of the border region.
From Hanoi, visitors can take a bus to Quang Ninh and then connect to Binh Lieu. Currently, the roads to the border markers are well maintained, so they are suitable for your winter trip.
Staying at stilt house homestays in Ngan Meo, Dong Thanh or Khe Tien villages, visitors can experience bathing in red Dao leaves, steaming, making campfires in the yard and enjoying rustic dishes such as dong vermicelli, hill chicken... with the locals.
Trang An is still beautiful in the cold season
Tourists visit Trang An.
Trang An (Ninh Binh) in the cold season has a quiet beauty, that is when the water surface is dark blue in the mist, the limestone mountains are covered with a layer of lingering smoke and the ancient temple roofs appear vaguely through the steam.
Taking a boat through the caves, visiting Vu Lam Palace or Tran Temple on cold days, visitors feel like they are lost in a peaceful fairy tale.
It takes only about two hours to travel from Hanoi via the highway to Trang An. Many accommodations here have peaceful spaces, hot stone spa services and herbal teas to help your mood become more relaxed.
When coming to Trang An, you cannot miss the specialties of the ancient capital such as steamed goat, grilled goat, crispy burnt rice or hot bamboo shoot soup, dishes that make visitors "warm up" on cold days...
