Full bloom plum blossoms in northern highlands

Located in the heart of Lao Cai province, about 70 km from Lao Cai city, Bac Ha is a remote yet captivating town in northern Vietnam. Known for its vibrant ethnic cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and rich traditions, Bac Ha offers an authentic travel experience far from the well-trodden paths of Sapa. Each spring, the entire Bac Ha plateau adorns itself with the pristine white hue of plum blossoms, exuding the gentle fragrance of spring during the early days of the Lunar New Year. This year’s plum blossom season commences in early February. Pure flowers grace gardens and adorn the front of houses, delicate petals scatter along the roads, transforming the area into a poetic and enchanting natural painting. VNA Photo: Hương Thu
