Moc Chau is about to enter the plum ripening season.
According to locals, the plum season in Moc Chau begins in May. When in season, the plums have smooth, taut skin, a bright red flesh inside, and a crisp, crunchy bite that bursts with sweet and sour flavor in your mouth. Just thinking about it is enough to make your heart flutter.

Moc Chau (Son La) is considered the largest plum growing area in the country, with plums grown extensively in the Nong Truong town and Tan Lap commune. Additionally, in Na Ka – bordering Tan Lap commune and Moc Chau's Nong Truong – lies a vast plum valley spanning over 100 hectares, where you'll be overwhelmed by the clusters of fruit ripening to a vibrant red under the warm highland sunshine.
You can buy them directly at the plum orchards in Moc Chau or at shops along the way, including some locations at the 75-meter-high slope, the Tropical Resort area, near DairyFarm, or at the Vuon Dao intersection, near the Moc Chau Food specialty supermarket.

Mu Náu plum forest is considered the "roof" of Mộc Châu, situated at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level. The scenery here remains pristine, with few guesthouses or homestays, making it ideal for those seeking a connection with nature. The plum trees are grown by local people; the road leading to it is steep and somewhat difficult, but it's beautiful, spacious, and remarkably not overly crowded.
