With the support of the locality, many eco-tourism products have been formed in Moc Chau district, such as visiting farms; experiencing picking fruits or planting, caring for and harvesting vegetables; visiting Vinatea Moc Chau tea village, heart-shaped and fingerprint-shaped tea hills, and the high-quality raw material area associated with the development of eco-tourism of Moc Suong Tea Company Limited and some tea hills of households.


Mai Kieu Linh, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: “After searching for information online, some families and I organised a tour for our children to visit and experience agricultural activities in Moc Chau plateau. I found this to be a very interesting place to experience, as everyone can see with their own eyes the green tea hills, pick ripe oranges, and experience being a farmer taking care of and milking cows. These activities help children get closer to nature, and gain more life skills and knowledge about agricultural production”.
