The origin of Love Moc Chau Heart Tea Hill

Love Moc Chau Heart Tea Hill didn’t just appear in day one or two; it began as a heartfelt vision by Mr. Hoang Duc Ke, a longtime farmer who has called Moc Chau home since the 1980s. In 2014, rather than continuing to grow ineffective plum trees, he took a different path: planting 3,000 square meters of tea. But his goal wasn’t just to harvest tea like in the old days, he dreamed of creating something more meaningful.

With a passion for the land and craving for innovation, he shaped the tea plants into a heart and included the words “I love you” in the design, hoping to create a space where visitors could connect with nature and take unique photos as a souvenir from Son La Province.

After nearly ten years of dedication, his dream became a reality when the tea hill opened to the public in 2022. It didn’t take long to spread the news; within just a few months, Love Moc Chau Heart Tea Hill welcomed over 50,000 visitors. Today, this tea hill isn’t just a pretty stop on a map but has become a new symbol of Moc Chau.

As we have mentioned above, one special thing about this tea hill is its stunning design: tea bushes are planted in the shape of two interlocking hearts, with the words "Moc Chau" and "I Love You" beautifully carved on the landscape. Adding to the charm is a sign reading “Love Moc Chau Heart Tea Hill” in Vietnamese. Those romantic details create a perfect backdrop for couples looking to capture pictures that feel straight out of a love story.

Location

In sub-zone 1-5 at the foot of F89 slope, Love Moc Chau Heart Tea Hill sits peacefully within the area of Nong Truong Moc Chau Town, Doan Ket Commune, Son La Province, Vietnam. Although the hill is located on the outskirts, it’s just around 8 kilometers from the center of the old Moc Chau town. As a result, you might find the whole journey close enough for a short ride, but far enough to feel immersed in nature.

Best time to visit 

The best time to visit Love Moc Chau Heart Tea Hill depends on what kind of experience you’re looking for. 

If you’re after the hill’s most refreshing beauty, then months from March to April are ideal. During this time, the tea plants begin sprouting new green buds; hence, they blanket the hills in a vivid green that’s full of life. In addition, the weather is mild, with plenty of sunshine and little rain, making it suitable for long walks and highland photo sessions.

But don’t overlook the beauty of summer. From May to July, while much of northern Vietnam faces intense heat, Moc Chau remains pleasantly cooler thanks to its elevation. The tea fields continue to thrive during these months, serving as a great getaway from the sun. A small tip for you is to visit in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the direct sunlight and enjoy soft lighting set up by nature.
