Translated by Bing
If the oolong tea hill in Sapa is like a giant green cloth, the cherry plum row around the hill is a pink silk strip around the waist, hugging the curves of the mountain maiden.

From 7 to 8 a.m. is the golden hour for photo hunting here. At this time dawn has dawned, the morning dew drops still linger on the young tea leaves, the clouds begin to give way to the rays of the morning sun. Visitors to the hill around this time will admire the sparkle as someone sneaks sparkling glitter beads on tea leaves. The morning freshness cleanses the soul.

In fact, if you look closely, it is not the cherry plum that is all pink, some of the flowers far from the stem are mixed with a hint of orange.

Overall, the row of cherry apricot trees winding along the tea hill walkway is very beautiful, but if visitors want to check-in with flowers, photographers need to have a little technique. Because the trunk is relatively tall, visitors can choose to angle the camera and phone from the bottom, the photographer stands at the bottom of the slope to catch all the flowers above.
