Moc Chau Tea Plantation is one of the HiLite attraction, and is a must to see. If you like photography, a good camera is a must. You need tele-len, superwide, and standard to capture all the scenes. You can spend the whole day there, walk around the rolling hills, go to different tea plantations just like you go wine tasting trip, and here you go to different plantation for tea tasting. You may rent some custumes for photo shooting too, got both male & female custumes. Tea over there is not expensive, should buy some, same tea at airport shop sell for 3-4 times their price.
Plantation covers area great area, there are some colorful betterflies all over. If you are going by rental motor bike is more economical, car rental with driver willbe very expensive (around US$80 per day).
Moc Chou is the most expensive place for eating out, price are 3 times more expensive than Hanoi. You can get by in Hanoi for US$4-5, Moc Chou needs US4$10.

Moc Chau is a plateau where is nearly 200 km from west of Hanoi.
In this town people grown tea, vegetable and castle farm.
If you have a tour from Hanoi, you can stop at Thung Khe (Hoa Binh Province) to have a rest and take a photo.
In Moc Chau town, you can see different landscapes that are dependent on the seasons.
In January 2015, I went to Dai Yem waterfall, mustard plant and tea farms. A part of that, you can see the Ban Ang village with mixing landscape between Da Lat and Hanoi.
I stayed at Thao Nguyen hotel which is a three star hotel with a acceptable services.
On the way come back to Hanoi, you can go to Mai Chau town to have lunch then have a stop for a rest at Cao Phong district.

6. Pha Luong Peak

Reviewed By Tony L - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
!For outdoor activity lovers only!
Pros: It's a flat rocky peak with vertical ascent as you can see in the photos. The view is breathtaking and from where I stand, I could see clearly other hill tops underneath. You could see cloud under your feet in the morning, but not after 10AM. Whatever I'm gonna write after this is not the Cons but the 'price' of getting to the wonderful Pha Luong Peak.
Cons: We started from Moc Chau center at 8AM, riding our bikes to Long Sap Border and arrived at roughly 10AM and that was the bumpiest and troublesome road to a destination we've ever been through. There's one 10km off-road where it could take you 1-2 hours riding the bike or you might ask the local tuk-tuk to take you to the border station. After registration with some small fee (because this area is the military base), you could start climbing yourself or hiring a porter with 25 bucks per day, regardless how many people you're taking with. For the locals, it only takes them around 1 hour to climb, but for us, it was 3 hours. The local children would follow you to sell drinks for 1 dollar per bottle. It could be life-threatened to climb down at dusk, and riding the bike at night as the brakes mean nothing here, you just have to flow with the speed of the downhill and uphill with no safety net or fence (yet).
7. Chimi Farm
We are Chimi Farm, strawberry farm. Free ticket, you can try some strawberries, if you like you can hold basket to pick strawberries and buy it. We have strawbery products too
