Plum season

Located at an altitude of over 1,000 meters above sea level, Bac Ha commune in Lao Cai province enjoys a cool climate year-round, especially in summer. Favorable natural conditions and suitable soil have created a distinctive fruit-growing region of the "White Plateau," most notably plum trees. Experimentally planted since the 1980s, plum trees quickly adapted and thrived. Today, Bac Ha and several neighboring communes have formed the largest plum-growing area in Lao Cai province, covering over 500 hectares and producing approximately 3,000 tons per year.

The plums, when perfectly ripe, are very appealing.

The plum season in Bac Ha begins in May, peaks in June, and lasts until July each year. Depending on the variety (such as Tam Hoa plums, Ta Van plums, or Purple plums) and weather conditions, the harvesting time varies. Visiting Bac Ha during this season, picking ripe plums directly from the orchards and enjoying the sweet and sour taste of this famous local fruit will be a delightful and unforgettable experience for tourists.
