If you ever dreamed of coming and
enjoying stunning golden rice paddies in somewhere in this beautiful world,
Vietnam can be one of the good suggestions for your plan. Why is Vietnam? As
you can see, Asia is the famous area for the production of rice, and
Vietnam is
one of the top. Moreover, these rice paddies are interleaved by a wide range of
marvelous landscapes by rivers and mountains that make them look like
picturesque. Therefore, don't only sit at home to wait. Let plan to travel to
Vietnam right now because the harvesting season only lasts for 1 month.
One of the most significant and
special view you can find in Vietnam is endless rice fields as rice has been
the staple food of Vietnamese people for thousands of years.
The famed rice fields begin to
brighten in the middle or late September carpeting the landscape in a stunning
greenish yellow. A scenery that can’t be made up. Where are best places to see
mind-blowing rice fields? Let’s check them out!
Tam Coc and Bac Son Valley

Tam Coc is located in Ninh Binh
Province, about 100km south of Hanoi which can be done easily in a day trip
from the hustle and bustle capital city. Copying on the world-famous Halong
bay, Tam Coc is considered the glamorous land of unique landscapes and myth.
Except you are not sailing on a junk nor on the sea, but on a wee paddling boat
on the submerged rice fields. If you don’t like boats and want to explore the
area in a different way, you can choose to bike around the area. Apart from
inspiring scenery, you have great chance to observe rural way of living. In
late September, the fields are still green with patches of golden color, making
a picturesque view, mixed with imposing mountains and peaceful villages.
Bac Son valley is located in the
heart of the rural district of Bac Son in Lang Son province in the Northeast
region of Vietnam, about 250 kilometers from Hanoi. The valley is surrounded by
incredible mountains where you can hike and enjoy a breathtaking view. This
mountainous region is home to 6 ethnic groups including the Tay, Kinh, Dao,
Nung and H’Mong. This is mainly an agricultural place. Its flat surface,
climate and rich soil make Bac Son Valley ideal for planting rice and other
crops. To see the pinnacle of Bac Son's beauty, take a hike to one of the
surrounding mountains tops where you can behold a panoramic view of the
breathtaking landscape.
Sapa, Hoang Su Phi, Mu Cang Chai
and Y Ty
The Northern region is nothing
short of stunning. Rice terraces were carved into the hilly or mountainous
slopes for crop farming, usually by ethnic minority people. Some are hundreds,
some are even thousands of years old. The curving terraces, although man-made,
appear to be in complete harmony with the landscape, creating a hypnotic
patterning across the hills and valleys. They make spectacular places for
hiking and photography. Aside from notable rice terraces, the mountainous
region is also a good place to experience ethnic cultures and customs.
When you're a big fan of trekking,
it would be a regret if you skip Sapa in your trip to Vietnam. Sa Pa is a
mountainous town in northwest Vietnam, not far from the Chinese border. The
area boasts breathtaking natural scenery, not to mention significant cultural
importance. Sapa is home to a number of tribal groups such as Black Hmong, Red
Dao, Pho Lu and Giay, who farm the terraced rice fields. The region surrounding
the town rises high and plunges low into stunning rice terraces. Growing and
cultivating fields of rice is the way of life for the hill tribe people for
hundreds of years. The rice terrace fields, among the most popular tourist
attractions, can be found in the Muong Hoa Valley between Sa Pa town and the
Fansipan Mountain.
Meanwhile in the northernmost
regions of Vietnam, Ha Giang, Mu Cang Chai and Y Ty which are among the poorest
places in the country, have drawn the attention of visitors with its striking
terraced fields for a long time. The crop season lasts from September to
October. In those days, the landscape treats you with marvelous beauty of
yellow paddy fields, spreading all over the place.
