About 12km from the center of Ngoc Chien commune, but it still takes hours by motorbike to reach Nam Nghep village. The road to the village is still mainly dirt road, winding and steep. Going uphill, visitors are extremely impressed by the beauty of the mountains and forests here, the hillsides of hawthorn trees are blooming, inviting and charming.

Located at an altitude of over 2,000 m above sea level, Nam Nghep village is the place with the coolest climate in Muong La district. Previously, hawthorn trees grew naturally, but now they are planted by people on the hillsides. This precious tree species not only brings income from its fruit, but the uniqueness of its flower season also brings economic value from tourism development to hundreds of Mong ethnic households.

The poetic beauty of hawthorn flowers.

When blooming, hawthorn flowers have 5 petals with yellow pistils, similar to plum flowers, but have their own beauty with ivory white color, blooming in large clusters, embracing mossy tree branches. The hawthorn flowers shyly in the early morning sunlight are like gentle mountain girls, full of vitality and charm.
