Moc Chau night markets
Visitors will see strawberry gardens, green tea hills or dairy farms, and plum valleys that reach as far as the eye can see when they think about Moc Chau. These locations, however, are only accessible in the morning. Moc Chau had little experience when the sun sank. Visitors to Moc Chau this season are recommended to check out the Chieng Di night market at Ban Art Stay in Chieng Di 1 hamlet, Van Ho commune, which is located approximately 8 kilometers from the town center.
