Located more than 100km from Hanoi, this orchard of ripe, heavily laden oranges is a must-visit for anyone who comes three times.

Besides enjoying a change of scenery and immersing themselves in a pleasant, green environment, visitors to orchards in many communes and wards of Bac Ninh province during this time can also experience picking oranges and enjoying ripe, juicy fruit right on the spot.

In early December, many orchards in communes and wards of Bac Ninh (formerly Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang province) such as Chu, Nam Duong, Kien Lao, Phuong Son... are bustling with tourists from near and far coming to experience the ripening orange season.

Besides being able to pick and enjoy fresh, delicious fruit on the spot or buy it as gifts for friends and family, visitors to these orchards during this time can also take photos and check in to their heart's content.

Tourists visiting Bac Ninh (formerly Bac Giang) during the orange ripening season can experience picking and enjoying the fruit right in the orchard.

Luong Van Toan (born in 2000, in Luc Nam district, formerly Bac Giang province) recently traveled about 20km from his home to an orange orchard in Bang Cong village, Kien Lao commune (Bac Ninh province) to experience the year-end orange harvest.

Toan said this was his third time visiting because he was impressed by the beautiful scenery of the garden during the orange ripening season.

"I've visited this orange orchard several times and I'm still not tired of it. Not only do I get to enjoy ripe oranges freshly picked from the tree, but I also have the opportunity to observe the process of the locals harvesting and selling the oranges, or take as many pictures as I like," Toán said.

Many orange orchards in Bac Ninh combine selling fruit with welcoming tourists for visits.

According to the young man's observations, the orchard is very large, mainly planted with Vinh oranges, with the harvest season ranging from November to January each year. This is also the time when the orchard attracts a large number of tourists from neighboring provinces and cities.

Toan suggests that for a complete experience, tourists should visit the orange orchard in the morning or mid-afternoon (3 PM - 4 PM). At this time, the weather is pleasant, the sunlight is soft and golden, making it convenient for tourists to participate in outdoor activities such as picking oranges and taking photos.

Thanks to favorable weather and scientific care using intensive farming techniques, the orange orchard is laden with fruit of consistent quality.

The entrance fee to the orange orchard is 30,000 VND per person for adults, and free for children.

Before leaving, tourists can buy fresh oranges right in the orchard to take home as gifts for friends and relatives, at a price of about 30,000 – 35,000 VND/kg.

"I've tasted them and found the oranges grown here to be very sweet, juicy, and easy to eat, making them suitable as gifts for the whole family to enjoy," the young man shared.

Besides enjoying them on the spot, visitors can buy oranges to take home as gifts for their loved ones.

According to Ms. Vu Thi Tan, the owner of the orange orchard that Toan visited, the orchard covers more than 4 hectares and is adjacent to the Bau Tien ecological tourist area, so the space is green, cool, and airy.

Besides selling the fruit, the orchard is also open to visitors who can come to tour, experience picking oranges, take photos, and enjoy the sweet fruit on the spot, which helps increase income and promote local produce.

The oranges grown here are considered to be of high quality, fresh, sweet, and juicy.

Visitors can observe the process of harvesting and packaging oranges freshly picked from the trees when visiting the orchard.

The orchard owner revealed that, in order to have a bountiful orange orchard with high yields, her family applies cultivation techniques entirely according to VietGAP standards, prioritizing the use of organic fertilizers and minimizing the use of pesticides.

As a result, the orange trees thrive, develop beautiful canopies, and produce consistently high-quality fruit. When ripe, the fruit is a vibrant yellow, with thin skin, plenty of juice, and a distinctive sweet and refreshing taste.

If you have the chance to visit the orange groves, you can combine it with exploring the nearby Bau Tien eco-tourism area, which offers many exciting outdoor activities, and don't forget to enjoy the delicious local dishes and specialties.
