Pink grass hill adds new winter highlight to Moc Chau tourism
PANO - In recent years, the pink grass hill in Lun hamlet, Muong Sang commune, Son La province has gradually emerged as a new highlight on the tourism map of Vietnam’s Northwest region.
Each winter, the soft pink grass blanketing Moc Chau’s hillsides attracts crowds of visitors drawn to the region's unique natural scenery.
Spanning 1.5 hectares, this U.S.-native grass variety was cultivated by locals as a tourist attraction. Now in its second year, the grass grows in slender clumps that, during peak season, drape the hills in a delicate pink mist. Entry is priced at VND 30,000 per person.
Winter offers the best viewing experience as the cool weather complements the landscape. Set against a deep green mountain backdrop, the sweeping pink tones create a peaceful, captivating scene unique to the plateau.
The site is a haven for photographers, especially in the early morning when dew adds a shimmering, misty glow to the slopes. Its open space also suits picnics and family outings. From here, visitors can easily explore nearby landmarks like Dai Yem Waterfall, Bach Long Glass Bridge, and Ban Ang Pine Forest, further enriching their Moc Chau experience.
