 Mai Chau Valley

 January, February, Mai Chau season of peach blossom, apricot blossom, plum blossom. Throughout the valley are white plum gardens, pink peach gardens as if to dispel the cold. March and April are the season of Ban flowers, and the green color of rice in the fields and terraced fields. In May the fields turn yellow; June and July are the season of ripe fruits, visitors can pick plums and peaches in people's gardens. In October and November, Mai Chau turns yellow again, the rice at the end of the year ripens more slowly, so visitors can have more time to admire Mai Chau valley as a golden carpet, seen from above, very nice to view. The villages with simple stilt houses, vast green rice fields, and winding roads have created a poetic and lyrical upland town.
