In the summer, we pick ripe ruby plums in the orchards of Moc Chau.

From May to July, a trip to Moc Chau wouldn't be complete without the experience of picking and enjoying plums right in the orchard. Currently, in the latter half of June, Moc Chau's late-season plums are at their peak ripeness, with the fruit being at its most delicious and beautiful.

Moc Chau plums are a prominent agricultural product of Moc Chau town. Just by traveling along the road from the town center to Tan Lap commune, Son La city, you can admire the vast orchards of ripe plums.

Quang Kien, a young man who works as a tourist photographer in Moc Chau, shared: "In June, plums are at their peak ripeness, delicious and sweet, and this year tourists can still pick plums until July."

Born and raised in Moc Chau, Quang Kien has visited many places in his hometown, but he still enjoys seeing the plum orchards laden with fruit during peak season. “One morning, I could go pick plums, listen to the orchard owner, Nguyen Xuan Van, tell stories about planting, caring for the trees, and harvesting the fruit... as well as building the Moc Chau ruby plum brand.”

Ruby plums are large, turning a deep purplish-red color when ripe, with attractive, taut skin. Out of every 100 plums grown in Son La, only 5 Ruby plums are selected. This is one of the highest-priced plum brands on the market, launched in 2021. Photo: Nguyen Xuan Van

Tourists visiting Moc Chau who want to pick, eat, and buy plums directly from the orchards can go to plum gardens in Na Ka, Tan Lap, Ban On, Mu Nau valleys, etc.

Moc Chau's weather in summer is usually hotter and more humid, so plum picking should be done early in the morning before 10 am. Besides plums, there are many other agricultural products for visitors to enjoy in the summer, such as peaches, pears, and various wild vegetables. If you have more time, you can combine your trip with visits to waterfalls such as Nang Tien, Chieng Khoa, Dai Yem, and Tat Nang.
