The beautiful season only lasts about 10-20 days, so picking the right time is the key to a perfect trip.

Pink color embraces the hillside

When the weather is cold enough, the fog is thick and the spring sunshine is dry, the wild peach trees begin to bloom, covering the young leaves, creating "pink clouds" that cover the hillsides. Walking along the mountain passes, visitors can easily see patches of wild peach trees peeking out on the mountain slopes, signaling that they are approaching the "capital" of the flower season.

Explore the rhythm of flowers blooming

Wild peach blossoms in Mu Cang Chai are everywhere: from remote valleys to alleys right in the center. There are stretches of road where people seem to be walking into a “tunnel” of flowers, when peach branches from both sides lean close, just reaching out is enough to touch the thin petals.

Ideal timing

The best blooming period is only about 10-20 days. To “catch the right rhythm”, pay attention to the distinctly cold days, thick morning mist and dry spring sunshine – that is when the wild peach trees begin to bloom strongly. Monitoring the weather and real images from the tourism community and local people will help you choose the right blooming period.

Experience the "tunnel" of flowers

Walking slowly through the slopes, the flowers sometimes peek out from the mountainside, sometimes cover both sides of the road. In many sections, the treetops lean close together, creating the feeling of walking in a pink dome. Up close, the thin petals gently sway in the wind, making each stop a frame rich in emotion.

Behave civilly when hunting for flowers

Most of the beautiful wild peach trees are located on private land, in villages, and in gardens. Please ask permission before taking photos, do not break branches, do not shake the tree to make the flowers fall, and absolutely do not litter. A small act of kindness will preserve the beauty of the flower season for future visitors.
