Admiring Hoang Su Phi terraced fields in rainy season
Tourists may have been once suggested to
visit Hoang Su Phi
in the harvest season in autumn to admire the endless glistening yellowish color
of terraced rice fields. However, in June when the rainy season has come,
excursionists are advised to prepare their packs and rush to
Ha Giang Province
to see another beautiful view of Hoang Su Phi.
Hoang Su Phi, about 110 kilometers from
Ha Giang
town, is best known for the
terraced fields in six villages: Luoc, San Sa Ho, Phung, Ho Thau, Nam Ty and
Thong Nguyen. With a long history, these terraced fields are the fruit of the
non-stop, creative labor of La Chi, Dao and Nung ethnic groups. A visit to these
terraced fields not only offers scenic landscapes, but also further insight into
the local agricultural practice.
A large number of both local and international travelers have come to the site
to satisfy their eyes with stunning landscapes. Hoang Su Phi is also a place
inspiring artists and photographers to make colorful paintings and best
snapshots.
In June, Hoang Su Phi looks graceful with thousands of terraced rice fields
unwinding evenly and running through mountain walls under clouds. The
surroundings create a giant perfect painting which seems to be made by the
Creator rather than by the small hands of ethnic people.
Since being recognized as a national heritage site, Hoang Su Phi
terraced rice fields are more and more well-known among both local and
international tourists.
