Pho Cao is beautiful year-round, with each season offering a unique charm and diverse cultural experiences. However, visitors often choose to visit during the rice harvest season (September-October), the buckwheat flower season (October-March), and especially the peach blossom season (late February to early March).
Dốc Thẩm Mã (Tham Ma Pass), Dốc Chín Khoanh (Nine Loops Pass), the buckwheat flower fields, and the ancient villages nestled amongst the majestic mountains are the main attractions for tourists in Pho Cao. Don't miss the six-day rotating market (held on Thìn and Tuất days – these are days of the week in the Vietnamese lunar calendar), a unique market experience in the highlands.
