The Moc Chau everlasting flower hill is a new destination attracting tourists. The hill is located about 7 km from Moc Chau town center, conveniently on the way to Chieng Di market and on the return route from Moc Chau to Ha Noi.

The flower hill covers an area of about 4,000 square meters, planted by a private investor. Surrounding the hill are spacious areas with tea trees and other flowers like plum and peach.

According to Quang Kien, a freelance tour guide in Moc Chau, the everlasting flower hill opened to visitors on 22/2 (the 6th day of Tet), with an entrance fee of 50,000 VND per person.

Everlasting flowers, also known as strawflowers, are herbaceous perennials belonging to the daisy family. They prefer cool climates, originate from Oceania, and were brought to Vietnam, where they are widely planted in Da Lat. Recently, they were introduced to the North, planted in Sa Pa and Moc Chau, which have similar climates.

Everlasting flowers typically boast vibrant colors, including yellow, red, orange, pink, purple, and white. While they naturally fade, their distinguishing feature is the ability to retain their shape and color. These blooms are often picked without stems and preserved as whole flowers for souvenirs.

Nguyen Ha Phuong checked in at the everlasting flower hill right after Tet. Seeing fresh flowers across a wide field for the first time, she expressed excitement. According to Phuong, the flower beds are nearly one meter high, convenient for taking photos from various angles.

According to Kien, the best times for photography at the flower hill are 8-10h or 15-17h, when it is sunny. The flower garden is in its initial blooming phase, expected to be beautiful until the end of April. After the peak Tet holiday, hotels and homestays in Moc Chau are less fully booked. Visitors can take advantage of this time to visit and avoid crowds.
