Many visitors may ask themselves the best places to visit Vietnam in February.  Here are some recommendation for visit in Vietnam.

Vietnam weather in February is the floral season which is very ideal for a wide range of flowers blooming over the country. Therefore, we highly recommend to visit flower sites or villages such as, Moc Chau (Son La). This is the best place to see pink peach or white plum flowers blossom which make this area more romantic and poetic. It is about 200km from Hanoi to Moc Chau. Besides, visitors can combine the trip to Sapa afterwards to enjoy the blooming flowers. In particular, in the trip to Sapa, visitors can take a cable car to conquer the Fansipan mountain with the peak of 3.143m (or locally known as roof of Indochina).

In February, Da Lat is also a “must-visit” place which attracts a lot of “Phuot Thu” (Pack-and-go travellers) to this beautiful place. Da Lat is not only impressive to Vietnamese but also international visitors for its mild climate and diversified flower species blossoming all year round. Although a strong urbanization, Da Lat still remains its unique attractions.
