Best Time to Book

To see Moon Guest House Mu Cang Chai at its most magical, time your visit at the end of September through early October — the golden rice harvest season in Yen Bai! It was during this time of year, during the cultural festivals, that the village was thronged by thousands of riders, tourists, and photographers, who came to the village from Hanoi.

You must book 4-6 weeks in advance at least in periods:

• September - October (Crops ripen)
• Vietnamese National Holidays (Tet, Independence Day, etc.)
• Photo Tour Event or Ethnic Market Day

If a calmer, nature-filled experience interests you, perhaps join trips with a night at the Mu Cang Chai Ecolodge, particularly during the low season to enjoy more privacy and stunning rice terrace views. Believe us, the mix of town energy at Moon Guest House Mu Cang Chai and quiet luxury at Mu Cang Chai Ecolodge is magic.
