Hello,

Thanks...
In March, are you planning a trip to Vietnam but don't know where to go? Join us in checking out the most unique features of the 10 regions across Vietnam below to choose a suitable destination.
A. Traveling to the Northwest Vietnam in March
Although the peach blossoms have faded in Northwest Vietnam, young apricots and plums have begun to sprout fruit on the branches. Traveling to Northwest Vietnam in March, you will experience the feeling of comfort when the morning dew still lingers on the grass, the roads are dyed with red dust inviting visitors from near and far. In those Northwest regions, there are 5 most worth-visiting places in March.
1. Traveling to Sapa in March - The world of dreamy clouds and sky
March is the time to start a new journey to the Northwest's heaven gate, Sapa. Traveling to Sapa in March is when the earth and sky change seasons, the time to depart for young people who love to hunt clouds.
At this time, spring is about to end, the summer sun is hidden. Therefore, when going up high, there is not much fog but more white clouds floating. Tourists coming here in March will know what it is like to walk in the clouds, step on the clouds, and reach out to the clouds to pick the clouds.
One of the famous cloud hunting spots is on the top of Fansipan. Coming to the top of Fansipan in March, visitors will have the opportunity to see the sea of clouds floating right before their eyes and under their feet. This scene brings an interesting and magical feeling when you’re overwhelmed by the majestic scenery of nature.
In addition, Sapa Town below is also immersed in white fog. Fog covers the distant mountains, fog floats on every small road, and fog seeps into the half-open windows at the foot of the hill. Sometimes it makes people feel like that border town is carrying a loneliness within itself. Many tourists love this feeling so they often come here in March. They come to have moments of peace, contemplate life and lull themselves into a peaceful sleep after all the hustle and bustle of life. If you have not yet enjoyed the peach blossoms in spring, a trip to Sapa in March will lull you with the shy late blooming peach blossoms. At this time, the whole world is filled with pure white flowers, as pure as a mountain girl in the highlands.
2. Travel to Moc Chau in March to see white bauhinia flowers
When the Tet holidays of Vietnam with peach and plum blossoms have passed, traveling to Moc Chau in March is filled with the gentle, ecstatic colors of bauhinia flowers. Many people love the season of pure white mustard flowers covering the fields, and they look forward to spring when they go to the Northwest to hunt for wild peach blossoms. But there are also many people who only wait until March to welcome a season of pure and innocent bauhinia flowers and then travel to Moc Chau in the days of March.
Tourists going to Moc Chau - Son La along National Highway 6 will see white bauhinia flowers blooming on both sides of the road. Travelers cannot help but stop their cars, following the trails on the mountainside to touch the pure white and soft bauhinia flowers like velvet.
In particular, at this time, Moc Chau Town also begins to prepare for the traditional Het Cha festival of the Thai people. Tourists traveling to Moc Chau in March have the opportunity to both admire the flowers and enjoy the festival with the ethnic people.
3. Travel to Ha Giang in March - The only place where peach blossoms bloom in late spring
One of the most sought-after tourist destinations in March is Ha Giang, a peaceful and poetic land in the changing seasons. If Moc Chau, Sapa, and Yen Bai have withered peach blossoms, then traveling to Ha Giang in March is when plum and peach blossoms are in full bloom. Tourists come here when they are still lingering, still wanting to prolong a spring that has not yet passed.
Traveling to Ha Giang in March, visitors can see flowers blooming all over the hillsides, filling the valleys, and even interspersed in small villages. One of the most beautiful peach blossom locations is on the Dong Van Plateau, Sung La Valley. Here, flowers grow in forests, endlessly under the clear sky of spring.
Ha Giang is beautiful in every season. But perhaps in the changing seasons of March, visitors will see a Ha Giang imbued with the fragrance of the mountains and forests, both passionate and no less capricious than the temperament of a girl who has just fallen in love.
4. Travel to Dien Bien Phu
March is the time when Dien Bien Phu is filled with white Bauhinia flowers. If you are too familiar with Ha Giang, Moc Chau - where Bauhinia flowers are also found, why not try Dien Bien, a beautiful land with many cultural and historical values?
Coming to Dien Bien Phu in March, visitors can see Bauhinia flowers blooming in almost all districts such as Muong Ang, Dien Bien district, Dien Bien Dong district, and Tua Chua district. Or without having to go far, passengers just need to drive along the main road of the city (Vo Nguyen Giap Street), into the historic A1 hill area to be able to enjoy Bauhinia flowers.
In addition, if visitors want to fully enjoy the scenery of the Northwest mountains and forests along the way to Dien Bien, choose to travel during the day. You follow National Highway 6 through Hoa Binh - Son La, and finally, Dien Bien, where white Bauhinia flowers grow on both sides of the road.
Coming to Dien Bien, in addition to historical sites such as the bunker of General Vo Nguyen Giap, visitors should not forget to visit the Muong Phang Cherry Garden, the largest freshwater lake in Pa Khoang province where you can catch fish weighing tens of kilograms. In particular, if you have time, go further and set foot on the Vietnam - Laos - China border junction or visit the westernmost point of the country, A Pa Chai. These are all mountain passes with beautiful natural scenery in March.
5. Ta Xua Tourism - A backpacking destination in March
Ta Xua is a tourist destination in Vietnam in March for backpackers who love to hunt clouds. Adventurous slopes, towering hills in the clouds, immense flower forests or rice valleys immersed in a sea of mist, all create an incredibly beautiful backpacking route.
Ta Xua is a destination that cannot be missed for backpackers who love to experience and explore. After passing 230km of winding mountain passes, visitors can admire a sea of rolling clouds, reaching the sky. Looking down from above, you will feel like you are lost in a fairyland that is still affectionately called "Paradise on Earth" by tourists. In addition, visitors can also go to Hang Dong, but the road is more difficult. This is one of the highest places in Son La with an altitude of up to 2000m above sea level, so it is an ideal place to hunt clouds. Famous for its steep and dangerous roads, Hang Dong brings a difficult but interesting challenge for those who love adventure and conquest.
