From early morning, the road leading to Chien Hoa orange garden in Van Son ward was bustling with footsteps and laughter of tourists. The hillsides gradually appeared in the yellow color of oranges, blending with the soothing green of the tea hills. The scent of oranges wafted in the wind, as if gently inviting and holding the steps of passersby. Carefully cared for, more than 4,000 m2 of oranges of his family yielded plump, evenly colored fruit. This year, the garden is expected to yield more than 18 tons of fruit, mainly sold directly to tourists at a price of 50,000 - 60,000 VND/kg.
Taking us on a tour of the orange garden, Mr. Chien said: Since 2022, realizing the potential of this type of experiential tourism , I have boldly opened the garden to welcome visitors with a fee of 40,000 VND/person. Thanks to that, the family's Ly orange garden has become more known; the products are also consumed more conveniently and have better prices. On weekends, the orange garden often welcomes over 1,000 visitors to visit and experience. Many visitors, after enjoying oranges in the garden, also order a few dozen kilos to bring home as gifts.
Leaving Chien Hoa orange garden, we went to Ban Moc Farm in Na Ka plum valley, Thao Nguyen ward. This place is considered an ideal stopover, when visitors can combine visiting the rose garden, heart-shaped tea hill, plum garden or orange garden, creating a complete journey of exploring agricultural ecology. Currently, Ban Moc Farm owns nearly 3 hectares of oranges with many delicious orange varieties of Moc Chau such as orange ly, orange canh, orange V2. At this time, the oranges are ripe, turning the whole garden yellow, creating a beautiful and poetic scene. Visitors coming here can freely sightsee, take pictures, experience orange picking and enjoy fresh, sweet orange segments right in the garden.
With a group of friends taking pictures under the bright yellow orange clusters, Ms. Nguyen Thuy Loan, a tourist from Hanoi , shared: "I am really impressed by the scale and beauty of the orange gardens here. Standing in the middle of a garden full of fruit, enjoying the fresh, cool air, feels so comfortable and different from the hustle and bustle of the city. What I like most is the quality of the oranges, the rich sweetness, the crispy and juicy segments. When I get to see the care process firsthand, pick and taste them right at the root, I am more assured of their safety and freshness."
Currently, on Moc Chau plateau, there are more than 60 hectares of ly oranges, mainly located in Van Son, Thao Nguyen and Moc Son wards. The orange gardens here are cared for organically, using hydrolyzed nitrogen, microbial fertilizers and biological products, so the oranges are always safe and environmentally friendly. Orange season starts from around mid-October and lasts until the end of January of the following year. To attract tourists, many gardeners regularly share new photos, suggest beautiful shooting angles and coordinate with travel agencies to build rich experience combos.
Mr. Tran Van Nam, tour guide of Binh An Viet Travel Company, said: In Moc Chau tours in the last months of the year, stopping at the orange garden is almost the desire of most tourists. People really like the feeling of experiencing real agriculture. Bringing tourists to the garden not only enriches tourism products, but also helps people consume agricultural products effectively.
Not only attracting tourists, the orange gardens in Moc Chau are also a familiar stop for many service photographers. They not only help tourists capture beautiful moments but also contribute to spreading the beauty of the plateau. Mr. Nguyen Tai Thanh, a photographer in Moc Chau, shared: To get satisfactory pictures in the orange garden, visitors should visit in the morning when the sun is still gentle and the space is clear. Brightly colored clothes will help you stand out among the brilliant orange color. A few small accessories such as an orange basket, an umbrella or a few books can also make the photo album more charming. Through each frame, he hopes to introduce the beauty of Moc Chau in the fruit season, contributing to making this plateau an increasingly popular destination.
With the combination of clean agriculture and experiential tourism, the orange gardens full of fruit, golden and sweet in the highlands not only bring economic value, but also open up the direction for sustainable agricultural tourism development. It is where tourists find joy from close experiences, and Moc Chau people also have a golden season of prosperity.
