Best time to visit the tea hills of Long Coc

With its mild climate and lush green landscapes, Long Coc is a pleasant destination all year round. However, the ideal time to explore the tea hills is from March to December. During these months, the tea plants are covered in a vibrant green, blanketing the hills in a lush and lively carpet.

From December onwards, the tea plants enter “hibernation,” which transforms the landscape: the shapes and textures of the hills become more varied, offering a fascinating visual spectacle that sparks the imagination of those who admire them.

Visitors can discover the tea cultivation process and even take part in planting alongside local residents. They also have the chance to pick tea leaves themselves and bring them home as souvenirs for family and friends.

Around Long Coc Tea Hill, there are also many hotels, entertainment centers, and services to explore and discover such as: Tan Son district market, Xuan Son National Park, Hung Temple,...

In addition to immersing themselves in the natural atmosphere and taking arrival photos, visitors can also explore the culture of the Dao and Muong ethnic groups in the Kha Cuu area. They can also taste typical dishes such as “Xao Chuoi", “Sour Meat”,  or “Braised Tram with Fish”.

You should check the weather forecast before coming to Long Coc Tea Hill to get the best photos.
