Ha Giang, the northern-most of Vietnam, is always an alluring region that fascinates you with its mighty stone highlands, curving mountainous paths, foggy sunrises and melodious sounds of pan-pipes. Particularly in autumn, this landscape will treat you even better with its marvelous beauty of yellow paddy fields, spreading all over the place. Let’s see some stunning photos about Hoang Su Phi rice terraced fields in Ha Giang, Northwestern of Vietnam.


Hoang Su Phi, a district of Ha Giang, often draws the attention of visitors with its striking terraced fields, which were recognized as a “national heritage” site in 2012. You will be amazed at the picture-like landscapes of yellow terraced fields spreading to the horizon.

Due to its high terrain, the terraced fields in Hoang Su Phi are often seen on precarious locations of mountains. Unlike other places in the north, terraced fields in this region feature a uniform beauty. You will be overwhelmed by new views, which are immense, magnificent, poetic and romantic.

In Hoang Su Phi, the crop season lasts from September to October, when the weather is pleasant and ideal for tourists to enjoy the North West of Vietnam. Rice plants in Hoang Su Phi are longer and terraced fields are situated at a higher altitude compared to those in Mu Cang Chai of Yen Bai province. Terraced fields in Hoang Su Phi carpet from the mountain foot to the valleys as a yellow circle making this place a splendid natural painting.

The most iconic terraced fields are set at high locations, about 30-40km from Vinh Quang town. The higher you go, the more beautiful sceneries you can witness with the harmony of mountains, clouds and yellow rice. It will be more fabulous if you can get up earlier and visit Phung village, where you can indulge in the peaceful and poetic ambiance. Sit on a peak and view small houses scattered in the paddy field, listen to the laughter of local kids and the rooster crow in the foggy morning. In that momentyou will love and remember this landscape more than anywhere else.

In addition to the glamorous beauty of terraced fields, Coming to Ha Giang in this October is also an exciting Buckwheat Festival with many interesting activities.
