The pear flowers - the distinctive feature of Hong Thai Commune, bloom in the second and third lunar months. The clusters of flowers last for two to three weeks. When an entire forest glows with pure white blossoms, the open petals shine brightly amid the mountains, breathing new life into the landscape. At dawn, through layers of mist, the pear branches appear like snowflakes floating in midair.

Na Hang is a highland district in northern Tuyen Quang province, about 100 km from Tuyen Quang city. Besides pear orchards, Na Hang is home to stunning attractions like the Na Hang - Lam Binh ecological lake and Hong Thai's terraced fields. It takes about six hours by car from Ha Noi to reach Na Hang, but the journey is worthwhile when standing amidst vast pear gardens as if stepping into a fairy tale.
Hong Thai’s charm isn’t limited to pear blossom season. It is also part of the journey to explore Ba Be - Na Hang National Park, traveling along the Gam and Nang Rivers to enjoy the ecological scenery of the lake. In autumn, the sweet, ripe pears hang heavy on the branches, ready for harvest in September and October. It’s also the perfect time to witness the golden glow of ripe rice terraces in Hong Thai, a sight so captivating that visitors find it hard to leave.
