This plateau is about 1,000m above sea level and around 80km long and 25km wide.  Located slightly under half way between Mai Chau and Son La, Moc Chau is little more than a fairly stretched out, glorified truck stop. The road which enters town from one side does as almost every other visitor to the town tends to and exits the other side shortly afterwards.
The area of the grass-field accounts for more than 14,000ha and is suitable for animal husbandry, tea planting and other agriculture. Moc Chau tea factory was set up here to produce black tea for export and for domestic consumption.
