Yen Bai province, 200 km from Hanoi, is home to a number of ethnic minority groups with diverse cultures and customs.
Terraced fields stretching on mountain, hillsides, and in valleys in Mu Cang Chai district are the most famous sites drawing visitors and photographers, especially in the ripening rice season.
La Pan Tan and Che Cu Nha commune have the most beautiful terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai.
Giang My Phu, a Mong ethnic local, said, “I have not visited many places elsewhere but terraced rice fields in my village are the most beautiful. It’s hard to grow rice on a terraced field which is dry in hot weather and rice can’t grow.”
Terraced rice fields in Tu Le commune in Van Chan district are among the most beautiful fields in the northwest. Flanking Khau Pha pass, Tu Le looks like a yellow rice waterfall in September, the harvest time.
From Khau Pha, the road winds like a silk ribbon around terraced rice fields leading to Lim Ong and Lim Thai village. Local Thai and Mong ethnic minority people have a special recipe for making young rice.
Lo Van Oa of Lim Mong hamlet said, “We have been making young rice for a long time. This year, we are making more to meet visitor demand. Everyone in our hamlet follow this trade.”
Khau Pha pass is another attraction in Yen Bai. In the Thai language, Khau Pha means “Sky horn”.
