Terraced Field Festival in the Hill Region 2025

In order to promote eco-tourism and community tourism in the Hilly Region, the 2025 Hilly Region Terraced Field Festival will take place on October 25-26 in Thuong Coc commune.

The terraced fields of Mien Doi (Thuong Coc commune) are known as one of the most beautiful landscapes of Phu Tho province in particular and the Northwestern provinces in general.

Stretching across the gentle hillsides, the terraced fields of the Hill Region are not only a testament to the creativity in farming of the Muong people but also a valuable landscape resource, bearing the mark of indigenous culture.

The Hill Region is located at an altitude of about 600m above sea level, with high mountainous terrain interspersed with valleys, with the majority of Muong ethnic people living. On the journey to the Hill Region from Mia Market along the Ho Chi Minh Road , visitors will be guided by winding roads, winding between vast forests and mountains.

The special highlight of the Hill Region is the system of more than 400 hectares of terraced fields, reclaimed and cultivated by the Muong ethnic people for hundreds of years. During the flooding season (May-June) and the rice harvest season (September-October), the entire hilly area is covered with a golden coat, winding along the mountain slopes to create a vivid landscape painting.

Compared to famous destinations such as Sa Pa or Mu Cang Chai (Lao Cai), the terraced fields of the Hill Region have a rustic beauty, not yet commercialized, very suitable for the trend of "slow living" tourism and finding pristine nature.

The terraced fields are interspersed between green primeval forests, waterfalls and cool, clear streams. This creates a charming landscape and leaves a strong impression on first-time visitors.

In addition to the majestic terraced fields, there are also traditional Muong stilt houses that have been covered by the color of time, preserving intact cultural values.

The fresh, cool air, the warmth and the attractive traditional dishes of the local people promise to make the terraced fields of the Hill Region an ideal destination, attracting a large number of tourists.
