Hoa Binh province is widely known for its beautiful natural landscapes, primeval forests, majestic caves, and poetic lakes, among so much more. The terraced fields in Mien Doi commune, Lac Son district, are also a highlight for the development of green tourism in the province.
Terraced fields and the culture linked with them are considered a “specialty” of the northwestern region, but comprehensive investment strategies and development measures are needed to fully capitalise on this tourism resource, experts said.
Every autumn, between September and early October, the northern mountainous province of Lai Chau becomes a magnet for travellers looking to take in the extraordinary golden rice season. This is a time for tourists to visit and experience wonderful moments.
The Mu Cang Chai terraced rice fields are not only a magnificent sight but also an exclusive masterpiece of local people attempting to improve nature while also creating appeal for tourists to the northwest region.
