Despite the unpredictable weather, flowers in Bac Ha plateau bloom brilliantly.

The plum garden in Ta Van Chu commune is a favourite in the locality for visitors and photographers.

On the path to Can Cau lake, towards Si Ma Cai district, there are many plum gardens with blooming flowers.

The road from Bac Ha to Sin Cheng commune in Si Ma Cai district is also attractive thanks to the plum and peach blooms. The trinh tuong (earthen) houses are hidden under the plum forests, creating a truly special scene.

The path leading to Lu Than commune is popular with endless tam giac mach (buckwheat) flower fields. However, it is now filled with white plum blossoms. This is considered the destination with the most outstanding scenery in Bac Ha this season.

Exploring Bac Ha plateau carefully, visitors can enjoy what remains of the spring season.
